Old School #1 - Note to Self

I pulled out some old sketchbooks from high school when my friend Ian told me about a call for submissions for an art show he thought I was up my alley. So I started scanning in old drawings to archive them as the books are getting old and paper is yellowing.

This is one of my favorites from this book. I'll be posting a bunch more over the next couple weeks too so stay tuned.

My friend Mel Fratta-Yukna commissioned me to make a drawing of musician Joey Cape to use for T-shirts and promo. I had to whip it out over night to get it to them in time. The label ended up up voting it down, so it wasn't used for the promo materials. But I'm still pretty proud of this one and I really enjoyed making it. I was working from a photo he provided that captured this great perspective of the guitar coming right atcha. If you haven't heard of Joey Cape, he's a great songwriter so go check him out.
