Journal #2

Slowly I am scanning in more pages from journal #2. Now that the school year is out for the summer, I'll hopefully be able to scan more.This page was one of the first where I combined my love of portrait drawing with mixed-media and layering. I still don't do this enough.


This two page spread uses a photosensitive paper called Sun Paper. It was an experiment to see if I could use it with my elementary students at the time. It proved too much hassle to use with younger kids.

This is a simple ink drawing that focuses on words, textures, and patterns. It's a good thing to mix it up in the journal, to try new things, and to perhaps focus on a single media instead of always layering.
