Our June cover artist, Joseph Zbukvic, allowed us rare access to one of his precious sketchbooks. Filled with lively figure studies, dynamic trackside sketches of racehorses, and enlightening notes to self, the artist's sketchbook reveals a little of the magic behind the scenes of his beautiful paintings. We featured as many sketches as space allowed in the magazine, but couldn't bare to let this treasure go without recording a few more gems for you.

Of course, nothing can replace the visceral experience of flipping through an artist's sketchbook pages, lingering over the notes in the margins, and running your fingers along the edge of a particularly masterful line, but this video presentation may be the next best thing. Enjoy!



Look for Zbukvic's cover story in the June 2008 issue, on newsstands April 22.
