Some impromptu watercolor painting last night— Zac's on the left and mine on the right. We tried to stay in a similar color palette for this diptych. I think they turned out quite well; they have a simple charm. Below is what they look like in the frame.
A couple of offerings from the Moleskine that turned out decently from last weekend. Also, a photo of my European-trip-inspired shadow box sporting a Parisian pigeon feather, a lens from a vintage vision-test optics machine, and a bit of dried flora plucked from Flevopark in Amsterdam on the day we cycled to the Distilleerderij ‘t Nieuwe Diep, sadly… Continue reading Sketches from last weekend, &c.
S.P. looking quite relaxed after a cozy dinner in his delightful apartment in Manhattan. The metal dachshund sculpture with one of the vintage Chinoiserie lamps; metal dog invoking S.P's Helen, now departed. B. dee-jaying on the laptop; S.P. chillin' And, from a couple nights ago, some additional drawings that landed in the Moleskine book.
Just a quick post to share some new little drawings. The Moleskine from the trip to Europe got filled up within a day or two after I returned, so I bought a new one a couple of weeks ago. The watercolor drawing up there was from our trip to the cabin in NJ. The drawings below… Continue reading Drawings from the Moleskine
Well, I have several things waiting on my list of things to blog about, but they are things that will require some time, research and / or thoughtful writing, and it's Friday evening and I don't want to continue sitting in front of a machine, as I've already been in front of one all day.… Continue reading Some do-dads from the archive
Such a pleasure to step back and people-watch. Divine. Good sketching, there, being invisible— the only way. Momentary moments and dead give-aways; anthropology. (Aside, it appears there's some red ink on my scanner bed— same place each scan. Note to self: time to razor and windex the scanner glass.) More sketchy sketches after the jump.>>… Continue reading Some Moleskine sketches from recent weeks
As I posted about a lot over the past few months, I’ve designed a calendar based on the signs of the Zodiac, but re-invented as house sigils or shields, complete with a house motto that distills the nature of each sign to a single phrase (as in the Game of Thrones series and the long heraldic… Continue reading The 12 Houses Zodiac Calendar for 2015
Last couple of pages in the Moleskine from my travels have been filled with some random drawings of faces. Also, some dried bits of foliage from Flevo Park in Amsterdam. Time for a new book! I will upload photos from the trip when I can, and maybe some travel tales.
I was in Amsterdam, Paris, and Berlin for two weeks, having returned on October 9. It's sad when a long-awaited trip finds itself in the past, and I miss it. Also, in other news: The 12 Houses Zodiac calendar was fully funded! It will be going to press within a week or less, and should… Continue reading A drawing from the trip abroad
I've got one-third of the twelve designed now, and it's a third of the way through the Kickstarter campaign to fund the printing of the calendars. If you want to learn more, or get one of your own, read more at Kickstarter!
