MIKEY's Sketchbook

Earlier this year at WonderCon ,I bought this cute little blue pocket sketchbook from Art Supply Warehouse.  As I mostly utilize little "Blue", while drawing at restaurants and Laundromats the cover got speckled by dust and some food items.

So I find myself decorating the cover of "Blue",with random doodles of my characters(and a toy ninja turtle too) as a way to hide the wear of the cover.
But I've also discovered doing so to be a refreshing way to warm up, for my days spent in the struggle ,to make my best  comic pages yet!


                         I think it's working!
                          Enjoy!-Mikey>( ' - ' )<

Mikey's sketchbooks

In my sketchbooks I often do experiments/ comic shorts ranging from "slice of life" to sci-fi, to advertising ideas.
Often these are attempts at creating new works  or after designing new characters to help me in visualizing them  ,like a casting director, to see how they might fit in a role.

But many times the short 3 or 4 page sketchbook comics  are just to capture a memory or feeling of a moment.

Here are a few random panels (straight in pen with whiteout and occasional scented markers) of those sketchbook experiments.
