Turtle, fish, parrot, weasel! All awesome. I’m glad you are loving your ICAD collage. There are Bristol board wire bound sketchbooks - just usually not a ton of pages. The novelty of them “in” the Rolodex isn’t outweighing the “the paper is thin” sensation? I assume there are Rolodex punches you could use for any paper. I’ve commented already on the comics, but I love seeing them!

It makes me sad to cut holes in them to put them in the Rolodex…

Ahhh. I see. Actually, the regular art version of what you use is totally smooth and thick.

Yeah. The one I use has no texture. Same line as yours… just not the watercolor.

Thank you! It was inspired by a picture in the book ‘Flotsam’ that Amy posted about a few weeks ago.

I write poem like you draw cartoons. You put the pen in the general area of the paper, and stuff just comes out. I love your ICAD images.

That is amazing! I’m not sure I could get poetry to magically flow!
