David Fullarton’s technique is more than mixed. It’s made by pencil, markers, pens, collage of pieces of paper coming from the most various sources. It’s illustration, art and graphic design, not easy to close it in a single box.

Tommy Kane has worked in advertising for 25 years, but in his sparetime he was always painting and drawing. He succeeded in advertising and thanks to this he travelled a lot around the world, and while doing this he was always sketching.

We talked just two days ago about Zach Johnsen, artist fromPortland,  but the richness and originality of his sketches on paper have to be added to My sketchbook posts collection.

Another appointment with artists’ sketchbooks, today featuring Joao Paulo Alvares Ruas, illustrator from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

MUNK ONE a.k.a. Jose A. Mercado is a Californian artist. He usually works for bands, like Korn, My Chemical Romance, Bullet for my Valentine and others.
His style is a mixture of traditional heavy metal/rock illustrations and graffiti and hip hop imaginary.

James Jean is an incredibly talented artist from New York,  now he lives in Los Angeles. Since 2007 he abandoned illustration to dedicate to painting and  personal projects of publishing and exhibitions.

First appointment with “My sketchbook”. This first article is dedicated to the illustrator who gave me this idea, Anna Rusakova, is Ukrainian and she has a site/blog, that unfortunately is all in Cyrillic, but this does not prevent us to see his wonderful drawings.
