Sketchbook Detour

***Temporary Sketchbook Detour***

I began a solo motorcycle trip from Los Angeles on Friday, June 22, 2012, heading north, as far as I'm having fun. I'll be updating my sketchbook with posts from the road, and not necessarily artwork. I'm too beat by the time I'm in camp or in a cheap motel.

I'll continue with the sketches when I get back in a few weeks.

Yeah right! It's been months! I'll get back to it as I finish up some classes and have more time again. Maybe in another month, like in February, 2013.

Ukulele Player Doodle


I play the uke from time to time so I doodled out a ball-point pen sketch.  I'm not so much into the Hawaiian music as much as the diversity of this little, unassuming instrument.  The things people can do with ukuleles are amazing.  Check out Jake Shimabukuro.  He's the king of uke currently.

Actually, while writing this post I got distracted finding other links of some wonderful uke playing.  Most of it doesn't actually show diversity.  Just go on YouTube and do some searches for "ukulele" and your favorite band...  This is cool.  And so is this, for example.  Damn, what talent.  There's a lot to love about the interwebs.  Oh and one last very catchy, but inappropriate one with major profanity (Seriously.  I'm warning you.).
