Overmuch, and the discipline of writing for clarity.
I feel on the brink of something– oh, but don't I always? [Pardon the sarcasm, but it's difficult to escape, especially with 2 beers in my belly and the onset of Autumn.] Wistful, dear Autumn– most emotional of times. It may be on account of my birthing at this time of year– Dunno. Don't much… Continue reading Overmuch, and the discipline of writing for clarity.

Drink n’ Draw
some thirty-second and one minute long poses Last night Kim and I went to the 3rd Ward figure drawing session (with cans of Colt 45 and styrofoam-inspired snacks, such as cheeze doodles™ and munchos™). I haven't done figure drawing since I was at Pratt, so it was long overdue. It's all proper, beginning with 30… Continue reading Drink n’ Draw
drawings from an art night
I've been tracking calendar-map hours along with freelance project hours, and just did a quick tally– since my return Monday night, I've clocked in 20.5 hours of cartography. Last night I did some drawings to take a break from it for awhile. (they all have prominent chins...)
inspiring imagery
The top two images were things found via Google image whilst searching for the Two Knights upon One Horse Masonic Seal (in addition to finding several examples of the seal in question, not represented here at all, in fact). The drawing of the knight falling off the horse is fantastic, and I wish I'd noted… Continue reading inspiring imagery

always this is how the year progresses
It's June. June 13th, to be specific. That's 06/13/09 (for us Americans) or 13.06.09 (a more sensible approach; day-week-month, or: specific-to-broad, in terms of increments). Here's what I'm talking about: I feel (for my part) that over the past few weeks (well, maybe six or seven) I've finally gotten a handle on things– on how… Continue reading always this is how the year progresses
transformation and beauty
Today's essay from Mr Keillor was a good'n. An excerpt: It was so much more than what we deserved to hear, which is true of art, a lavish gift of the heart that shames pretense by its outrageous generosity.
“the experts agree”
Not only that the Decemberists are great, but that they have a lot of great posters. I'm happy to be included in their list of artists, and man I wish I had a print of the Jay Ryan one with the bird houses, along with the lovely row houses poster by Jen Skelley and Nate… Continue reading “the experts agree”
