sketchbook

Thanks for visiting my website! Here is a large selection of sketches that I’ve done over the years, categorized by place or theme or whatever, thumbnails which point to the image on my Flickr site.

I usually sketch in a watercolour moleskine, but often use other sketchbooks as well. To see the contents of each sketchbook, please visit the sketchbooks page (note: under construction!)…

Pete, I am so in love with your sketches, I think I will pack my bags and move into your blog! I miss the Bay Area terribly and you depict all my favorite spots exactly the way they feel to me. Thank you!

I beg to differ,, they do not all look the same. Nope, not at all. They’re all wonderfully unique. And I am so glad to have ‘found’ your art.

Pete, j’aime vraiment tes dessins, ils sont si expressifs.

Je pense que si tu voulais te lancer dans la bande dessinée à titre professionnel tu pourrais sans problèmes. Mais ce n’est pas ce que tu recherche je pense, c’est plus dans l’approche d’un photographe que tu travaille a mon sens.
A une différence près: tu donne une étincelle de vie qui n’existerait pas dans une vraie photo.

Bravo!

Hi Pete,
I met you briefly at the Jville tavern in Jacksonville Oregon. I was wondering if you can direct me to any posts of what you sketched while in our little town of Jville? I am currently putting a music project together with a welshman named Steve Joseph check out http://www.welshdrummer.com. I would appreciate anything sketchwise you might throw our way to use on some of our promo posters. Do you have nything of the liverpool caverns, or musical instruments drum’s, guitars, horns etc.? Also did you get by the back porch to see the ‘wall of boots”? Any way thank you and nice work! love your page.
