This is what happens when I watch Project Runway. Yesterday’s sort of gusting W I N D throws some of the apartment’s weaknesses into high relief; an embarrassing semblance of outdated aluminum-framed windows in the kitchen, and utter lack of insulation in the outhouse—er, bathroom. The place is downright chilly on such days. This time… Continue reading Duchy & Vole
I haven't put anything here on the blog in an age. Now it's a new year, and I plan to get back into my non-work creative pursuits. I have been blaming work and being busy in general for my lack of non-work creative endeavors, but I have recently come to realize there was more to… Continue reading Starting the year by drawing again
(art by me) Look for information soon here.
A drawing for today. This was one for a work project, "Nature Block Party"– see it in action at the (temporary) web site for this new offshoot of NYC Wildflower Week, and the new initiative, National Urban Biodiversity Week. Click on the image to see it larger.
A map for a thing, utterly unrelated but pretty; based on a lovely from 'Surveying the Shore'. More on that project later... Yes, folks, I'm doing it again.

My word count stands, currently, at 1,899-- a whopping 232… Continue reading National Novel Writing Month has begun!
"A Tiny City springs up from a crack in the pavement" (actual date 08.18.11-ignore typo) "A boy is angry" Finally some drawings I like very much, without coercion! happy.
How horrid I've been with this blog for months! So too with my other web presences. I put my jewelry Etsy shop on vacation over a month ago, and there it has languished; remiss, remiss! But it was a busy and tumultuous springtime, followed by what has thus far been a summer of doing; of… Continue reading absentee bloglord.
Last night in class I decided to work on another soft ground etching. After pulling the proofs last week, I realized this medium is exactly what I was looking for in 2010 when working on all those pencil drawings, and wanting a way to create multiples of them (not giclée). This is perfect, as it… Continue reading Another soft ground etching started- stunted.
A reiteration of a bit from an entry made some years ago: My dreams are bound together with waxed sail thread, glue stick and cello tape. The faint image above is a test I worked with silverpoint last night. I'd have done more but my makeshift silverpoint stylus was very poor indeed, involving a length… Continue reading silverpoint
