Book By Its Cover » Sketchbook Series: Mike Lowery

5.9.08

Mike Lowery’s goal is to draw or write something in his journal every single day. If he misses a day, he said he has to do at least two pages. He’s been filling moleskins for the past three years with his adorable characters, fun drawings and little comics as you can see from the images below. Mike recently joined the Lilla Rogers team- an agency known for it’s eclectic talented illustrators (We at Also are actually working on a revamp of their site right now). Mike is also a graphic design and illustration teacher at an art college in DC. He lives just outside the city with his wife Rachel and his “ridiculously awesome daughter, Allister”. Check out Mike’s site to see more of his work- he posts entries from his journal almost every day. And be sure to catch his weekly comic in the dcist Thanks Mike!

I love this site. The only problem I have is that we’re unable to enlarge these images to see the little details within each page shown.

thanks mwt- in order for me to be able to have so many images in each post they need to be fairly small. I’m sorry that sometimes it’s hard to see details but you can just go to the artist’s website where he has plenty of better images of his work. : )

Love these! Especially: the french press, the birdcages, the buildings in norway, and mount fuji! And Chester. Oh, and the keyboards.
I’m the proud owner of one of his firefly in a jar drawings so it’s cool to see those sketches as well.

I’m also impressed with this guy’s work. It’s like he has his finger on my “aaawwww, how cute!” button. Keep up the great work TML.
