About 7 months ago I started to draw again.
These are pages from my first sketchbook after a year and a half hiatus from drawing and painting. My lines were somewhat clumsy because of this absence, but I am as much attached to these drawings as I am with anything else I have ever done. Rilke once wrote, “A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity”. Although my ego does not carry me far enough to claim this is good art; its creation was without a doubt the essence of inevitability. This book is a Japanese style bound Moleskin that Yvonne and I share. Within it are stories and images about our lives intertwined.

This is beautiful! "Ego or not" this is not only "good" art, it is "great" art!
Wow! Thanks for sharing it. A walk in the rain can be very cleansing.

Oooh, you never fail to disappoint. That sleeping girl is especially divine . . .
But is there a chance we can see a bigger scan of this? I'd like to read the text.

Nice. Keep posting. These drawings are a gift.
I hope you're doing well.
Really great... it can be funny how important sketchbooks can be; You can grow attached to them.
Some nice work--but oi, sharing a sketchbook? Sounds like sharing a tattoo. I could never do that. I'd feel as though I'd have to ask for permission to destroy the inevitable shitty drawings.
I think your art is really good, I enjoyed going through your blog. Keep it up.
Wonderful
