New Markers // Try Every Day
Try Every Day #13I didn’t like the way the Sharpie Ultra Fine Point worked with my paper. It bled a little too much. I bought a six pack of Sigma Fine Liners so I could find a few sizes that work for me.I’ve learned this is a thing artists do. They test their new tools,…

Woodcut // Try Every Day
Try Every Day #12 I’ve always been fascinated by illustrations in ancient texts. The pre-printing press era. The woodcut designs. I love how the artists of the day could capture a moment in time with seemingly just a few lines. There was no shading, so the images feature huge contrast instead. Large dark patches, highlited…

Characters // Try Every Day
Try Every Day #12 I used to draw characters. A LOT of characters. I developed this “style” in Junior High. I had a character that I called Max. I would draw Max in all the latest fashions. I didn’t have drawing books or the internet to research, so I just took elements from comic strips…

My Desk Trophy // Try Every Day

My favorite tool // Try Every Day
Try Every Day #7 I don’t carry much in my pockets. Phone, wallet, and my Swiss Army Tinker. That’s it. That’s about all it’s ever been. I’ve carried my Tinker since I was a child. I was a huge MacGyver fan and always wanted his iconic knife. I don’t know when I found my first,…

What I drive // Try Every Day
Try Every Day #6 When your name is Chevee, you often get asked this conversation starter “what kind of car do you drive?” followed by a little grin. Right now… a 2010 Ford Focus. I’ve never really cared about cars. My dad was a major classic car guy. He tried sharing that love with me…

My camera // Try Every Day
Try Every Day #5 This is my camera. A Canon EOS M3 with the kit lens, a polarizing filter, and a collapsible hood. I’ve been staring down the barrel of this camera for almost 4 years and sharing my thoughts, desires, failures, and musings… every single weekday. This camera has been the best therapy I’ve…
