the subconscious sketchbook












These are some of the pages I did for my subconscious sketchbook class. The class really helped me reconsider the definition of what a sketchbook is. I've never been a sketcher or a doodler but collage has always come very naturally to me. Aaron Leighton really helped me to get in touch with this subconscious part of my artistic self and it's really inspired my illustration work. This semester I'm going to try to translate this style into a more editorial format for my thesis.
