The Sketchbook Project

My blog has a slogan: "There is Sublime Thunder beneath Every Harmless Moment." I am intrigued by the ability of simple things to haunt us. A ghost story of the most old fashioned and simple ilk is enough to linger in one's head for years after one hears it and without sensationalizing Horror tricks a la all these strange commodified slasher films. With this sketch book I felt it clicked to pursue drawing from subjects and actual pictures rather than to put down simply what was in my head. I have somehow rediscovered inspiration that way. I know it is a simple thing to find but its funny how stuck in my head I became trying to think up new images when I feel a still life is as eery as a ghost story. Revisiting nature has proven refreshingly grounding indeed. And irresistibly haunting to boot. See and read more at my Ghostly Blog here: www.ghostinthegaslight.com
