This morning to warm up I drew some entries from one of my favorite Tumblrs, Screenshots of Despair.
Tour Sketchbook #2
Here are some sketchbook scans from the second half of the Steal Across America tour. Here’s what I wrote about my first tour sketchbook:
I use a large Moleskine sketchbook because it has heavy bristol-like pages that don’t tear, it’s big enough to stick a boarding pass in the pages, and it has an envelope flap in the back for travel receipts.
I’m on the move a lot, so I don’t have a lot of time to sketch while I’m walking around, but I do have time to collage when I’m back in the hotel room, so I’ve started carrying transparent tape, Japanese Washi tape that my wife gave me, and a pair of safety scissors (TSA says under 4 inches is okay).

Tour Sketchbook
I’ve spent the past three weeks on the Steal Across America tour — other than my iPhone, my sketchbook is the most important thing I carry. I use a large Moleskine sketchbook because it has heavy bristol-like pages that don’t tear, it’s big enough to stick a boarding pass in the pages, and it has an envelope flap in the back for travel receipts.
I’m on the move a lot, so I don’t have a lot of time to sketch while I’m walking around, but I do have time to collage when I’m back in the hotel room, so I’ve started carrying transparent tape, Japanese Washi tape that my wife gave me, and a pair of safety scissors (TSA says under 4 inches is okay).
Here are a few pages from over the past three weeks:

I dread the end of a project. Day after day, you’re working on this big thing, and suddenly, it’s over. Now what?
I’d like to be a chain smoker when it comes to projects: use the end of the last one to light the next.
Unfortunately, I’m just not there yet—I don’t have the discipline or the stamina to jump into the next project right away. I need some idleness, play, and a mini-sabbatical to recharge the batteries.
So, I doodle…
…make collages on my iPad with the Mixel app:
…and make de-signs:
…and slowly gather up the momentum to start the next big project.
What drives me?
The folks at AIGA San Diego (I’ll be speaking at their Y17 conference next March) asked me for a 15-second video of me answering the question, “What drives you?” I will do anything to avoid talking to a camera, so I drew them this:
