Drawn

Stephen’s Silver‘s latest book of sketches, Stephen Silver’s Sketchbook is great fun. The book makes its official debut at the San Diego Comic Con this weekend (visit Stephen at booth H6). I just received my copy, and it’s a thing of beauty.

The book is cleverly designed to look like one of Stephen’s actual lunchtime sketchbooks loaded with character drawings, complete with spiral binding, and a thick cardboard backing. Unlike Stephen’s previous books, the pages of which often contained cut-up collages of various sketches from different sources, this latest book preserves Stephen’s sketchbook pages as is, and flipping through it actually looks and feels like you’re holding the real deal.

Stephen says that one of the reasons he preserved the pages in full was so he could share his creative process, the good along with the bad. But don’t listen to a word he says — there isn’t a bad drawing to be found in here. You can order the book at Stephen’s website for a cool $20.
