My Second Dream|Friday May 21
Posted on May 21, 2010 9 Comments
I love three things: I love tracing paper, I love graph paper, and I love my scanner. You can imagine my delight when I found a pad of tracing graph paper by my scanner! What fun I had with my new dream this morning.
Dream & the Nonsense

What did you dream last night? I have mailed this picture to a friend, but I’m not saying who. I just hope the postal service doesn’t fail me this time.

It’s been four or five days since I last posted anything, the longest I’ve gone without an update. That’s because I’ve been working on this project that has driven me loony over the past few days and I’m still not done. I just thought I’d touch base with you and give you an insight of […]
Waiting With My Girl For My Boys

I did this while at school this afternoon waiting for one son to finish auditioning for the talent show and the other to get out of detention. My own private Goofus and Gallant. More from this notebook over the bridge.
In Love With Polyhedrons
Posted on April 27, 2010 8 Comments
I just discovered a new love. It’s more like a tantric obsession with these impossibly irresistible shapes. I get so absorbed by drawing these triangular clusters that I lose track of time and space. And then the triangle gets so ridiculous that my hand forgets how to draw one and I have to think: how […]
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 […]
Another New Notebook

I hate Moleskine. They had to go and invent the most irresistible notebooks. I just can’t help buying them, stealing them from friends, giving them to friends, touching them, smelling them. I love Moleskine.
Sketchbook Z|Six Sketches

In mid-pregnancy I developed this condition called ptyalism. Wikipedia insensitively (or possibly more accurately) calls it drooling. I was going through an average of five-yes five-boxes of tissues a day. The tissues became a huge part of my daily life for weeks until I discovered that mistika gum worked wonders to subdue my salivary glands.
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.
Sketchbook Z|Twelve Pages

These are the first pages of a sketchbook I filled out in 2000. I was just pregnant with my daughter, Z. Reading and looking through it reminds me why I stopped having babies after that.
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 […]
