 I have several types and sizes of sketchbooks going at all times. Some sample pages are shown below.
10.18.2009 The Arno, Florence, Tombo Brush Pens
 
02.20.2010 The sun dropped below a cloud bank backlighting the cityscape as I sketched this view from the sidewalk on the upper deck of the Eads Bridge. I could hear the Metrolink trains crossing the bridge on the rail deck below. I saw a couple of barges on the river pass through the stone piers that hold the whole thing up. The legs of the Arch cast fierce shadows across the Mississippi and the temperature climbed up to a welcome 50 degreees. My fingers did get cold though and after about an hour and a half I called it a day.
