Ode to a Sketchbook

For the first time ever, I completed a sketchbook. There have been pages torn from this book, including the first page, but I still think it counts.

This book was purchased in a Pearl Arts Supply in Philadelphia in 2004. It served as a design idea book and later a drawing book. It got slightly mis-shaped by a yogurt bursting in my book bag last year. The book has traveled with me from NYC, to Austin TX, and Hawaii.

Shown is the first page, the start of a logo idea for a shrimp truck in Oahu, Hawaii. The last page, completed yesterday, are random people at a bookstore.
