I'd thought this drawing may have wanted some watercolor while I was working on it, but I'm fond of it as a spiky monochrome. Maybe instead I'll go back in with graphite and make it a misty, foggy view.

This morning broke sunny and slid into grey
Here's a little sketch I did, sort of thinking out a vibe or mood for an illustration. It's soft, whimsical; feelings that are a little out of reach for me at the moment, despite that Spring is trying to emerge, bit by bit. The gloom of winter is still upon me. I'm feeling stuck, creatively.… Continue reading This morning broke sunny and slid into grey

Twenty-one will enter, only one will leave. Some fun sketches from Punderdome at Littlefield on Tuesday eve, where a few of us joined Adam on his birthday. This exceedingly well-attended and sold-out event provides entertainment of maximum word-nerdiness amid flurries of index cards and timed deliveries of puns. Though we were far back and without the best… Continue reading Have you heard of the Punderdome?

Sketches of a lost compass
Well, I haven't done any watercolors or writing for the blog this week, apologies. I've been working on several projects for clients, as well as populating a new piece of furniture which arrived over the weekend (a separate post about that forthcoming). Here are a few pencil sketches for a project I'm working on now.… Continue reading Sketches of a lost compass
