This is the cover to my favorite sketchbook. I painted it over a year ago, and I think this cover helped inspire me to draw, paint, and sketch to fill the pages of the book in a way I never had before. I should scan some of the pages in and show you guys. One thing, I wish the texture of the canvas background was not as prominent, it takes away from the delicacies of the color pencil work.

I stopped with the bookmaking because I kept stabbing my own fingers with the giant needle. They were beautiful though, if you missed the occasional blood stains. Hehe.
