Traveling Around All Over

Hi all,

Just got back to the studio after a ton of holiday traveling. Had an unexpected trip to New York last week that gave me the oppurtunity to visit one of my all time favorite sketch destinations- the Natural History Museum.

I took colored stock and brush pens with me to get a variety of colorful sketches. Sadly, the crowds on hand and my own time restrictions didn't give me more then a half hour or so for each sketch, but I figured they would be a fun addition to the blog to show my "exercise" outside of normal projects.
