The 8.5 x 11" sketchbooks are Jordan's most important tool. They are records of anything and everything - overheard snippets of conversations, news clips, sketches and photos from travel, plans for finished work. This is where all the ideas big and small are gathered, distilled, recombined and either trashed or nurtured into art.

This section includes excerpts from Jordan's sketchbooks. Go to studies and snapshots to see visual explorations.

The newspaperpoems section is a collection of immediate responses to either the daily serving of inhumanity on the front page or some dark internal feelings which need to be expressed in order to clear the head.

Go to inspiration to check out sources and motivation like readings and music.
