Foreword, by Barbara Nessim. The following pages are a faithful reproduction of my 99th sketchbook, finished January 1st, 2018. I have completed almost 100 books since 1974, and they are instrumental to my creative process. My sketchbooks serve as an archive of imagery and ideas that inform my entire body of artwork. There are just 3 rules for these books: 1) must have beginning and end pages with dates 2) must work page after page 3) no page is torn out
