sketchbooks

a place to share

I’m Aaron. I am an artist/illustrator/cartoonist. What I truly love to do most is daydream in my sketchbooks.

It's an addiction but I'm pretty okay being at its mercy.

These are all/most of the sketchbooks I am currently working in.

I know, it's a problem. But they all offer something a little different.

For a long time I was pretty monogamous with the sketchbook I worked in. When I stumbled on the now-ubiquitous Moleskine in high school it quickly became my go-to outlet for sketching.

These are excerpts from my Moleskine sketchbooks that span ten years of my life, starting in art school in 2005 and ending in 2015 when I quit my day job to pursue full-time self-employment. 

I don't love or even like most of the pages in these sketchbooks. I can track my developing skills, both written and drawn. I can see how my voice changes over time: ten formative years of words and pictures. Each individual page might not be anything special but In its totality it's something great.

I have been slowly posting video tours of these on my Youtube here.

Since then my sketchbooks have become a multi-pronged endeavor, not really having a primary book but many books each for slightly different things. 

I have been looking for a place to share my sketchbooks both past and present. I’m hoping this will  be a good place to figure out what that looks like. Sorry I can’t hand you one to flip through; that's really the best way to experience them. But, in lieu of that…

Thanks for looking.
