APRIL'08: The sketches I intend to post on this site are ones that I do on vacations to the Caribbean Islands via cruise ships. When we escape from the northeast USA winter for a couple of weeks a year, my wife and I are basically beach and resort-pool junkies. Drawing is one of my favorite things to do on vacation. I bring a compact sack of supplies and a sketchbook that all fits into a medium ziploc bag. Everything that I look at as a subject (everything EYE see) seems to have infinite detail. Sketching for me is a process of eliminating and sorting. Clearly, I'm talking about EXTERIOR visions here. I learn things through the observation needed to do these sketches. For example: sea gull's "knees" point backward, not forward. You could learn that by just watching them walk on the shore, but I never did get it till I tried to draw them. I tinker with these sketches at home sometimes, then they ultimately go into a drawer, and vacation is over. UPDATE, JULY '08: I put up 3 albums of images of the Stained Glass work which is the most creative thing I do.These projects always involve design sketches, usually multiple ones at different scales, to work out details to the clients' or my own satisfaction. I often do full scale color sketches to better visualize the final results, and there's always a cutting pattern of black outlines to be made (also at full scale) to lay the cut pieces of glass on, to begin the process of soldering them together. UPDATE FEB. 2010: Here is a video of my display at craft shows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7WbqfQST8w UPDATE, SEPT.'08: Well, I got the hang of uploading images and putting them into albums, and now it seems...that....I.....I....CAN'T STOP! UPDATE, NOV. '08: I think I have enough pictures here by now. If you're curious to see more recent work by me (I mean chronologically after what's here) please check out this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hubbmax/ UPDATE FEB. '09: I put together a colorful book with many of the sketches that I did over the last 20 years on Caribbean Cruise vacations. Check out a preview and description of it at: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/986093 UPDATE SEPT. '09: I have a blog now: http://hubbmax.wordpress.com/
