I started recovering the end papers (the ugly space that attaches to the covers of most books) in my sketchbooks because I found them to be just that, ugly.
I love books that are bound and treated with care and personal touch that comes with pretty end papers.
It spread to some wandering into book binding and custom cover treatments. I do these kinds of things to my personal sketchbooks all the time, so when Tidma asked me to do a custom sketchbook for her I was tickled.
This commission was a true treasure to work on. The person it is for is lovely and the character is the best of spooky cats.
Done with original stencils, acrylic, and Black Ink paper for the end papers
I did not bind this book; It is a Strathmore Mixed Media soft cover sketchbook

In South Texas where I live, some people use the word fresh to mean cool. Not cool as in hip but cool as in low temperature, often in a refreshing way. First time I encountered it, one of the other ranch hands exclaimed, "Man, its fresh in here." when we came inside the house to have lunch. It was 104 F outside. Its a Tejano thing probably related to the Spanish word "fresca" meaning cool.
