Now Where Was I? A Sketchbook Memoir

OMGosh! This book is amazing! I couldn't get enough of the drawings in this book Then I got around to reading it, What wonderful stories to go along with all the pictures. If your hedging about getting this book, don't! you will not be disappointed! I want to learn to draw myself and found that Steven has video classes on Craftsy.com , OMG x 2! Best internet classes I have Ever Taken!! Thank you Steven you have inspired me to learn to draw

Hi Steven! Thank you for the books! I first came to know your work through your classes on Craftsy. I have had a hard time with my own creative process. What should I paint/draw? Am I good enough? All those questions made me do nothing instead of trying. After taking your classes I got so inspired! I started with what I had at home and just looked for interesting things to draw. And now I just keep going! You are such a great artist and teacher! Thank you for inspiring me to just put my pen on the paper and not look back =) Your books are lovely!

Including paintings, comics and sketches spanning 35 years, this colorful, beautifully published collection reads and views very much like an illustrated autobiography – selective, retrospective, revealing and at the same time concealing. Urban sketches include everything from portraits of gorgeous Seattle Tudor homes to plumbing pipes in Sidney, Iowa, and a house doomed for demolition in Jingdezhen, China. Older oil paintings have more abstract compositions than the on-location sketches, but their central images remain in the slightly quirky illustrative style that has become Steve’s signature.

This sketchbook was sent quickly with quality, careful packing...so you know it came from the artist :-). Lovely work with a new technique I want to try - grisaille ink underpainting! Charming sketches!
