organization

I have a bunch of art posted to my old journal and I thought I should link it here so I have everything accessible in one place. Except here, I've gotten much more organized about labelling sketchbooks and there not so much.

I apparently didn't post any photographs of sketchbook #8 and only posted a Vimeo video that I can't seem to get to play. (I have no idea if I still have the original file anyway to attempt to upload it anywhere else.)

Sketchbook #7 appears to be spiral bound and I dimly recall it being a small-ish size, but I don't remember the brand or details. (That might have been another of my bargain Target finds.)

And that's when I decided to dig out my old sketchbooks to look these things up and maybe take pictures ... and that's when I discovered that I have no idea where any of my old sketchbooks are.

Anyway, I'll get around to linking art later. Just making the list was more work than I expected.

And short of massively cleaning my entire room, I just thought of one more place the sketchbooks might be. Off to go look...


EDIT: FOUND THEM! I'll post an updated version of this list soon. By the way is it "master list" or "masterlist". I googled and the Internet seems evenly split, while my spellchecker doesn't like it as one word. Opinions?

master list of all of my sketchbooks

Numbers like dimensions and paper type are from (when possible) the cover or packaging of the sketchbook itself or I retroactively hunted down the info based on product listings online. When I've pulled out the ruler and measured myself, I've rounded to the nearest half inch (or centimeter if that was more convenient). If there's a weirdly-specific measurement like "11.4" that's definitely not one of my measurements.

memo to self: what's the deadline again?

So, in a fit of optimism last night, I signed up for a fan thing where I have to draw fanart for someone's in-progress story. And I lucked out because you sign up based on the summary and they send you snippets from the story after you've claimed the story. So it's a bit of a dice roll.

And the snippets were actually really good, so that's an immediate relief. (Quickly followed by the, "Aw, crap, now the art has to be good, too.")

(I think I've signed up for this same project twice a few years back and both of my authors defaulted and never posted. (Edit: I just looked it up and one of them finally posted a year later so I've poked them to see if they still want the art.))

If I'm reading this right, the deadline is early August. So ... plenty of time and yet, also plenty of time to put it off and forget about it. Hence, making a post for accountability.
