Pocket sketchbook

The pocket sketchbook is out again, together with my brushpen.

R had a run in with a tree, and I made him an eye-patch to protect the eye while it recovers - pirate style.

Pain is tiring, but was fortunately comparatively shortlived this time.

The pirate patch is already discarded again (sadly!), but the inky brushpen stays.

There is something very comforting about working in graphite. I sketched the last one while listening to Danny Gregory's interviews with Nina Johansson, Liz Steel, and Lapin on Vimeo - check them out over there.

Off for Easter. Went to town today with the daughters, to get us some reading material for the holidays and shop for fabric. We took a break at Sigfred's Kaffebar where I got to sketch.
