New sketch book

Page one of this new sketch book, a gift from Hal. It is recycled paper, natural in color and smoother than I would think. So, making textures and shadows with an ink pen, they are turtle-like, slug-like.
Something about Milwaukee, maybe the late winter grayness, made me want to just draw without subject matter or models. The city is a great mix of working class, grass-roots neighborhoods, blues bars, historical districts, universities and cool waterfront. Not to mention a way cool art museum. In a recent Barbie fashion competition, my sister's new neighborhood of West Allis' entry was a NASCAR Barbie (of course).
