found notebook from the nineteen hundreds
Posted on December 19, 2010 5 Comments
I recently found this sketchpad under a pile of books. It had always been there-I see it all the time-but I never thought to look in it. What I found was a barely filled book of drawings, but more outstandingly, ideas; from being the King of my own little island (not a Queen, and don’t […]
waiting for the stationary shop to open
Posted on December 8, 2010 1 Comment
I spend so much of my time waiting: at traffic lights, clinic waiting rooms, for my children after school, at my parents’ as the children suffer with the tutor. Usually I have a notebook or sketchbook in my bag somewhere, or a book to read, so I’m always taken care of. I got to Mogahwi […]

I have become obsessed with scraps. There are scraps everywhere in my home and on my person (love that, my person). I have become quite brutal with these watercolor, collage, pen and ink postcards that I feel I must check myself and take a break. But I’ve been working so fervently and ferociously, and the […]

I was hoping that my friends would help me with not just a title for this sketch but a little story as well. And when I say ‘little’, I mean a few pithy lines. Thank you, Reda Salem, for being the first to volunteer. Thanks, everyone for taking the time to really think […]
You & I Happen

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 […]
New Sketchbook|Kudos
Posted on September 25, 2010 2 Comments
I finished one of my sketchbooks yesterday. So last night I visited the stationary store which I had previously bought this particular sketchbook from. Of course, they didn’t have it anymore, so I ended up buying a Derwent journal because the idea of it being a ‘perfect travel companion’ appealed to me. And now that […]
seven and a half minute face

And this is how I wreck my pens. I drew this yesterday to Primavera by Ludovico Einaudi. Yeah, yeah, I know it’s all new age-y but I was in the mood. I must say that it was crazy trying to get a more or less finished face in seven minutes and a half. This was […]
