After some stalling I am finally back onto the 'sketchbook project' and with a January deadline looming it's just as well. Some time ago while pondering what to fill my sketchbook with I stumbled across a disheveled coke can lying on the road. A beautifully mundane, worn object that's a pleasure to draw- one's trash is another's treasure. (Found Can blog entry)
