Astroliths is a sketchbook I made by hand in 1988. It’s a weird book, with pages made from Strathmore, interspersed with sheets of mylar, and the occasional coated stock. The pages are not all the same size.

I began drawing astroliths in October of 2020, when the pandemic was in full swing. I was working on an especially tedious painting, and I needed to switch gears for a while.

I did not start using this sketchbook until 2021. There are three sketchbooks that have astrolith images ( Astroliths, Fionwe, and Helcaraxe), but I thought the format of this particular sketchbook might lend itself well to this obsession when drawing them in the future. I have included the astrolith images from the other two sketchbooks in here, too.

Work from 2020 - 2024
