Over the Fourth...






















My wife and I took a road trip over the weekend to Southern Arizona...It was an amazing little trip. The start of the Monsoon season is really beautiful. Here are some sketches I did in various places. My supplies were a small travel watercolor set, small permanent black pen, super sized sharpee, a small permanent pentel sign pen, and a 50% Warm Grey Prismacolor pen.

It's great, my wife and I both have little watercolor sets, so when we see something cool to draw we would pull off the road and sit and draw for awhile. I'll put the link up when she posts her paintings too, there really cool!

I added some photos we took on our trip as well. I'm glad we are able to get out and see this great stuff far from Burbank. Work has been really busy lately, so it was nice to take a few days away. I came back really inspired. I know this is a bad time for road tripping, but it really is the best way to see the country. It's even better on bikes once you get there. We explored every town we set foot in, that is something you could not do in an airplane.

Gorgeous stuff man! I love the round cactus and the photo taken through the chain-link fence. You certainly have a rustic/desert affinity.
