I'll let you in on a little secret... half the time when I glue art paper into my sketchbook, it's covering up a drawing or something that I didn't like so much. Some Italian blackletter that came out wrong is hiding under this one, and nobody would ever know just by looking at it. Books are for secrets.
Flipping back through this sketchbook, which I started about eighteen months ago, I realize that I haven't been using it right. After all this time, I'm still trying too hard to be "good." I still want to go back and cover up everything that didn't come out so well; glue my pages together so nobody can see what's inside and paint over old mistakes until you can't tell what they were.
You can hide your mistakes, but there isn't enough paint in the world to make them go away.
