I am first and foremost a poet and writer. With only four years of high-school art for training, I don't consider myself an Artist. But, I love to doodle with pen, colored ink, and various markers. I recently gifted myself with a sketchbook that I carry around with me (something I have wanted to do for years, but felt would be somewhat misleading, if not downright phoney). I seldom start a blank page with much more than a vague idea of line or pattern. I love it and was thus drawn here when I stumbled onto a mention of something called The Sketchbook Project. It definitely sounded like the next step in my process.
