i made sketchbooks for people

The blue one is for Nicki and the red for Jagu, my cousin.  The blue one has drawing paper; the red has printmaking paper which makes a nice cheap watercolor paper (Utrecht brand printmaking paper, 25 sheets a pack).  Both have hair elastic closures.

New mailer

Response to Krishna's last post



That last post by Krishna really reminded me of this book I completed almost exactly a year ago. The book is called Coyote and the Monster and it's based on Native American legends.
