Whether it be creating an illustration or designing a logo, opening up my sketchbook is the first step for me in the creative process.
I always carry around my sketchbook with a MICRON pen. It gives me the opportunity to capture the people, places and events that feed my creativity. I also use my sketchbook as a way to capture my hobbies such as dancing, going to the theatre or exploring New York City.
For drawing inspiration I look to the masters -- Michelangelo Buonarroti, Pontormo, Rico (Frederico) Lebrun, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, John Held Jr., David Stone Martin as well as Melanie Reim's drawing class while at FIT during the Masters in Illustration program.
