Flashback Friday

This week we are flipping through Sketchbook #4, which I worked on from August 1998 – April 1999.

For some reason I was really into this lettering that wasn’t really lettering at all. It was just random shapes that looked like letters or slightly abstracted letters, but it never spelled out anything. And damn it, if that DJ at the top doesn’t have a sideways eye. Thanks a lot, Roy.

Self portrait of me as a cyclops.

It’s not often I draw legs. In fact, I don’t even draw arms very much. And it looks like I cleverly avoided drawing hands altogether for this one. As a sidenote, this image was also used as one of my first t-shirt graphics when I first got into screen printing.

Ten pages further in the book it appears as if I found the courage to draw two legs. Oh look! I even drew a hand on this guy. At least one hand. Also, the face is actually a portrait of Joseph Beuys.

Alrighty, that concludes our little stroll through the park known as Sketchbook #4.

Enjoy!
