wagonized

I've just seen a face

I used to draw those a lot: faces, usually seen in the newspaper or on Flickr, would end up in one of my Moleskines and I would add colored pencil in the background.  But then I moved away from that, because it became a bit gimmicky to me.  So I didn't draw faces with pen for a while.  Until yesterday.  The original photo is by Leroy Skalstad on Flickr.

Three!

My blog is 3 years old today!  I thought a Volvo wagon would be an appropriate way to celebrate.  

Thank you all for continuing to visit, despite the obvious slowdown in posting lately!

Asleep

I have not had time to draw -- it's as simple as that.  But added to this, I have not felt the inclination to draw much either.  I beat myself up for letting drawing opportunities (however fleeting) go by, but frankly, I have not felt capable of drawing stuff.  I doodled on what seems to be the penultimate page of my Canson sketchbook last night -- and I didn't like it.  But here's some of it.  That's Nora doing what she does best: sleep.

Sensitive

Oh, the precious sensitive wipes.  They were sitting in front of me last night on the coffee table, and I was curious to see if I could draw while the baby was on my lap.
