TitleMcCarthy Sketchbook
Date(s)c. 2009?
DescriptionA grey / brown sketchbook filled with rough drawings. It is bound with board on both covers connected with a metal binder. The board is patterned to look and feel like wood. The book is approximately twenty one centimetres tall by eighteen wide. The sketches inside include nudes, cubist drawings and miscellaneous doodles. There are no page numbers.

Due to the way the book is designed it is sometimes difficult to open. In addition, there are many lists and rough notes scattered throughout the book. There is also a purple bookmark marking a sketch entitled, 'Beyond Spinario Sketches 2009?'.

Number of Sketches: 34
Extent1 item
PhysicalDescriptionCondition: The condition of this book is good. Though at first it may look like the covers are heavily damaged, it is actually merely the ascetic of the sketchbook itself. Though the metal binders are a cause for concern, for the time being both the exterior and interior are well preserved, aside from a stain from a coffee mug on the first page.
