Call me a packrat if you will, but I've saved quite a few sketchbooks from years gone by, so many years gone by. These were musings I did in those golden days when I tried to make an effort to improve my style and skill. I think I only showed these old sketchbooks to a few people and they got a kick out of how my art improved from then to near now (a couple of years before now that is.) Many times I've looked back to these sketchbooks for ideas and inspiration, but some of the material I thought would never see the light of day again. Well, I would not call it a change of heart to show these again, just that I never know what might happen to these books, a fluke or freak accident will wipe these images and thoughts out forever much like some of my old sketchbooks that did not survive the test of time or have gotten lost. (I'm still convinced that I have seen some of my ideas floating around when I lost two sketchbooks years ago, but heck, coincidence maybe.) Anyway, from the year 1979 to about 1988, the surviving sketchbooks will be scanned and placed in scraps for a limited time only. Perhaps in this process I might find myself renewed and do updated versions of my old work. Cheers and please if any of the images causes severe brain and eye damage, I can't be held responsible. :)
