The Red Sketchbook
Posted 2014/10/19 by Sterling
Lots of interesting drawings in this one. This sketchbook is dated 2006-2007. It documents my move from the US to Canada, the start of my professional career and the final days of my bachelor life. It was the sketchbook I carried while working on Space Chimps, and when I started developing my Dragon project, Wakefield also begins to surface in its pages. This book travelled with me to California, British Columbia, Costa Rica, Japan, Hong Kong, and Thailand. Lots and lot of random drawings in here. Have fun exploring.
