A little over a year ago, right before falling asleep one night, I had an idea to start a memory blog counting down the last year of my 20's. In my head, it was the best idea ever...it was fun and also a little painful going through old journals - digging up old memories and attempting, at best, to capture them in sketchy, kinda stupid looking illustrations. :) Some were more finished than others, but all along the goal was to at least keep myself sketching for an entire year.
This particular drawing was inspired both in line and color by Emily Carroll. If you don't know her work, just go - go look at it NOW!! I don't have anything that important to say...yet! Emily, I hope you don't mind being an inspiration for this sketch. :)
I want to thank all of you for following me through this sketchy journey. Your comments, support, cheers, and encouragement have been what keeps me coming back to update it.
I have one more big post planned for this week...stay tuned for the last post of Goodbye, my 20's!
Very nice sketch inspired by Emily Carroll.
ReplyDeleteThe blog has been amazing, what a way to capture the year. Maybe others will follow in your footsteps for theirs.
Have a wonderful birthday this weekend, birthday weekend buddy! We will be celebrating for you in Fitchberg!
