My Sketchbook Project - In The Beginning...

The Sketchbook Project has begun.The top photo is of the two printing plates I made from cork to print the cover of my sketchbook. My theme is "forks and spoons;" I guess it's pretty obvious by my cover design. I'll probably add more to it later.

The first page highlights "hunger" as a sub-theme, relating to forks and spoons. Miller inherited a ton of old Life and Look magazines from his mother. The photo of the children looking at the pancakes is from a 1963 Life magazine.

American Gothic, by Grant Wood, is the most parodied painting in the world, so I decided to add my fork and spoon rendition.
