Constance Pierce: Sketchbook #1 (Moleskine) Washington D.C. and Atlanta trips

(view in 480p/ not 360p) I began working with small Moleskine sketchbooks in 2005. I take a Moleskine in my pocket whenever I travel, visit museums or wait in airports. I mainly use Pilot Roller Ball "extra fine" pens, Pigma Microns and ordinary ball-point pens. Because my Moleskines are little travel journals, I attach tickets, business cards, bits of printed text, and other odd things. I place these things both in and around my pages of sketching and entangled written notes. I also employ touches of watercolor wash here and there. I especially enjoy sketching the conflagration of figures in hotel lobbies and airports. I subliminally absorb many compositional possibilities that emerge later in my larger works. Sketching in my Moleskine constantly reminds me of the visual richness and great particularity of life.

Mark!

I was just showing a few color copies of your pages from CIA to my current students! So glad to hear you "still at it." Sketchbooks and Visual Journals can be additive! Good that they are so healthy for the soul! (I will check out sketchbook project.com)

I am wondering if this is the Constance Pierce that taught at Cleveland Institute of Art's Visual Journal class?
