Drink
Posted on September 27, 2010 2 Comments
I don’t drink. But funny enough, only now, at 40, do I feel the peer pressure to do it. I don’t want people to think I’m such a pill for not drinking. And I don’t want to not be invited anywhere because I don’t drink. So I’ve devised a plan. I will say that I’m […]
You & I Happen
Posted on September 26, 2010 Leave a Comment
When I draw in my sketchbooks, I rarely have a plan. This sketch is no different. I started with the red figure. Then the black figure happened and evoked a feeling in me of love and gratitude. I am thankful for my friend who I needed all of last week and who was there for […]
Steam

Months and months ago, I was introduced by my friend Tom, to the word steampunk. I instantly fell in love with it. A few weeks ago, my friend SB said that I had the potential to be steampunkish and I disagreed with him, ‘How ridiculous!’. Then this morning I was going through some old photos […]
Them & Me

I like to play. A LOT. But sometimes when I play I break things. And this time I broke my camera. I did manage to take a few shots before it fell and a couple after, until it zonked out completely on me. If you look at the black and white photo, the bottom right […]
Sketchbook Z|Three Lonely Sketches

I’m trying to present these sketches in sequence, especially this sketchbook since it follows my pregnancy with Z. There are only three sketches here because the pages after these are the tissue box series which merit their own post.
Black Sketchbook|Boxes on the Mind
Posted on April 2, 2010 12 Comments
I love boxes, I love chairs, and I love women. Ok, that last bit didn’t sound quite right although it’s true. I DO love women. I love drawing and painting them, I love their wide array of emotions and complexities, and I love the fact that I am a woman. This is one of those […]
The Dream

Sometimes when I want to travel without getting out of my comfy, fat chair, I endeavor on a drawing like this. As soon as I start to draw, the lines transform to rivers with little streams and rivulets of swimming images branching from their banks. through these pictures my mind wanders so far and wide […]
From the Bspot|Ramona the Pest|Originally Posted on August 5, 2009

Who remembers Beverly Cleary’s Ramona Quimby? The Ramona books were among my favorite in the third grade. And I loved the illustrations by Alan Tiegreen. His Ramona had skinny legs and a big head with a bob of scraggly hair. The books epitomized the way I thought life should be at the age of 8. This particular […]
Name Cards|February 16

Tonight is Jamm’s February 17 charity auction viewing. Whenever there is a major event, and I remember, I like to prepare some name cards to distribute. Today I made a very generous and optimistic ten because I am becoming extremely more picky these days about who I give my number out to.
Black Sketchbook|Drawings & Scraps
Posted on February 4, 2010 Leave a Comment
These are three pages from my black sketchbook. I bought the sketchbook a few years ago because I liked the novelty of it, and I knew that I would have to somehow work around the problem of drawing on black pages. One of the ‘projects’ I gave myself was this one: I asked my friend […]
