Happy Notebook Day! Let’s Peek Into Artists’ Souls

Happy Notebook Day! Let’s Peek Into Artists’ Souls

  3. Happy Notebook Day! Let's Peek Into Artists' Souls

A peek into an artists’ sketchbook is like a peek into their soul and the framework of their creative process. You can catch a glimpse of creative directions not taken, lines that lead to artistic dead ends and how one shape informs another. Sketchbooks allow creatives to work without the specter of perfectionism. They are a sandbox where the imagination of the artist can play.

That’s why we wanted to celebrate May 20 — Notebook Day — by inviting Queen City creatives to share some snapshots of their notebooks and sketchpads. A diverse array of artists answered the call, and we’re fascinated. Below are some of the submissions we received … and a few favorites we added.
