Dialogue sketchbook, pt. 2
7 Comments Published July 31st, 2008 in Dialogue sketchbook, art, artists, paintings, processAfter months of procrastinating and being occupied with other things, I finally finished my latest entry in the Dialogue sketchbook that I’m passing back and forth with Peter Cusack. Sorry this took me so long, man. I’ll be quicker about it with future entries, I promise!
For those just tuning in, Dialogue is a pretentiously-titled moleskine sketchbook that Peter and I are passing back and forth, each of us doing a two-page spread painting that is informed by the one preceding it. I started with a self-portrait, and Pete responded with a painting of himself taking a walk. I decided to riff off of his theme by showing someone else out for a walk. Your move, Cusey.
Fantastic !!!
i am full of amazement , respect and jelous
such creativity
talent
and great collaboration !!!
I do hope this sketchbook will be published in the end
i will be the first one to buy !
love and peace from the middle east
Hi there.
Wonderful painting my friend!! Lets just cool it down though. You think I have time to try to match this?? Don’t tell me you did a drawing, transfered it to the sktch book and then laid in a wash, blocked in the color and then modeled all the forms sub forms and sub sub forms. STOP!!!!! LOL!!! This is fun. I’ve been thinking about how to respond. Nothing yet. Beautiful page. WOOF!
Scott-
great work, and idea too- best-D
Hey Scott! Cool on the sketchbook but where are the SKETCHES! Holy crap…that’s a finished painting! I hope you’re well!
Ha! Thanks Scott. Well, the idea was more of a picture book then just a sketchbook. But I am going to get a little looser from her on out, or we’ll never finish it.

Hey Scott
Love this idea you and Peter are building out. Turning to each spread covered entirely with an image must be exhilarating. And the anticipation of the unknown, like a present and an interesting engagement each time! Reminds me of what my dad and his brother did with our families as we were growing up. They had cassette tapes which we’d record and play music on and then pass to the next family (perhaps one of my aunt’s), before getting back a full recording of everyone being goofy. They called it a Round Robin tape.
