clean slate

When I went to Melbourne a couple of years back, I picked up this surface from the PanelPop shop. It's beautiful stuff, and notebook-sized. This year I'm going to use it instead of a visual diary, and take photos between sketches. It's good to have a solid, reusable object to project thoughts onto, and the surface is a little like dry clay. Plus it saves paper and is made from reclaimed materials. I think when you use clay and kilns it's pretty important to try to save resources wherever you can...ceramics is not exactly a green artform, sadly.

I will post my preliminary sketches up here from time to time.
