The Sketchbook Project

Patrick Hogan, 1974 in his studio in Los Angeles, CA.

The Sketchbook Project is a traveling show of over 2,000 moleskin art sketchbooks. The project is sponsored by The art House Co-op of Atlanta, GA. I felt this was a good opportunity to exhibit photos I shot of artists in their studio. My photographic essay "Artist in their Studio" started in 1973. I began taking photographs of artists at Cal Arts, Valencia, CA where I was finishing up a Bachelor's degree. This project was expanded after graduating in '73. Through the help of Peter Plagens, I was able to contact prominent artists in the L.A. scene. These photos have never been published until now. The project continued when I later moved to New York, Conneticut and finally Massachusetts.

This is the cover of the notebook featuring Gloria Kisch, 1974, in her studio with her sculpture.

The Sketchbook Project is coming to Boston tonight at the Laconia Gallery on Harrison St., Boston, 5:30-8:00. The Art House Co-op that is based in Atlanta is sponsoring this 9 city tour of over 2,000 sketchbooks from artists all over the US. The following are samples from my book, "Artists I Know or Knew".

Root Image

All images from the Clouds Series and the Homage to Morris Series came from this root image. By layering multiple copies of the same image in Photoshop, adjusting each layer, flattening the layers and painting over the composite, I've been able to achieve the look for both of these series of digital paintings.

2007 Cloud Series

Clouds and Homage to Morris series has been two years in the making. I've developed a process by which I take a single photograph and make multiple copies (sometimes upwards of twenty). These copies are placed on separate layers in Photoshop. Each layer has its own unique settings of opacity and color attributes. When I am satisfied with the results all layers are then flattened to create the final image.

The inspiration for the Clouds series came from my childhood. In the summer time, I used to lay on my front lawn in Los Angeles and look up at the cloud formations in the sky. This was at a time, before freeways and smog, when LA had blue skies and white puffy clouds. The delicate transitions of tones that morphed into various shapes, brought me great joy and tranquility as a child. As an fine artist today, I get a chance to recreate that experience and add my own colors to the sky.

In upcoming posts I will display all of the images in the series.
