Post-it Note Art by Ralph Verano

 

 This lens is devoted to the "artwork" I am doing on Post-it note paper. 

 From a very early age, I have been consumed with drawing. I spent most of my school years doodling in my notebooks drawing wild imaginary characters to help me through the day. My current job is in Digital Imaging where I seldom get to use my artistic skills but I am still obsessed with drawing. So, in my spare time ( when I'm not really busy...boss), I revert to my school day practice of sketching the random ideas that cross my mind.

The Process 

A little insight to how I work.

I have several methods for creating the Post-it Note pieces. Some pieces are done by just starting to scribble on the pad with a pen and seeing what evolves. Others are started the same way, only with pencil so I can make changes. At times, I start with patches of color as a base then add the illustration.

The coloring is done on some with markers. These pieces are the only true "originals". With others, I scan the black line drawing then add color and other effects in Photoshop. These pieces are sold as Giclee prints.
