Bitterkomix: Sketchbooks and Journals

Presented by Painted Dog Press

An artist’s own sketchbook are the best records of his or her development – especially for dedicated artists like Conrad Botes and Anton Kannemeyer, who have been scribbling in sketchbooks since 1989. The brains behind Bitterkomix show readers examples of the roughly 1,000 drawings included in their new book and discuss the importance of sketchbooks and journals as playground, source and record. Feel free to bring your own sketchbook along and scribble or take notes while you watch, listen and learn from two of the best.

Daar is geen beter rekord van ’n kunstenaar se ontwikkeling as daardie kunstenaar se eie sketsboeke nie – veral as ons praat van toegewyde kunstenaars soos Conrad Botes en Anton Kannemeyer, wat al sedert 1989 in sketsboeke skribbel. Die breine agter Bitterkomix wys vir lesers voorbeelde van die ongeveer 1 000 tekeninge wat in hulle nuwe boek opgeneem is, en bespreek hoe belangrik sketsboeke en dagboeke as speelplek, bron en rekord is. Bring gerus jou eie sketsboek saam en skribbel of maak aantekeninge terwyl jy kyk, luister en leer by twee van die bestes.
