Teething

Nora, our vigorous little 5-month old, has been gnawing at this little plastic fish for days now.  She likes holding it, looking at it, and gnawing at it some more.  Pilot pen and colored pencil in my Moleskine "babylogue".

I am not fond of posting my little doodles, but it's as good as it gets these days.  I still carry around two sketchbooks in my purse (a small Moleskine and my soft cover 5.5 x 8.5 Canson) at all times but don't get too many opportunities to open them and scratch the paper with the tip of my Pigma Micron.

Scanner & friends

There is a bit of a mess growing on our dining room table and I am not sure what some of these items are.  But among those I know, there is a scanner, a baby monitor, a couple of hard drives, the little stuffed dog that always tips forward and a roll of film.

WNYC 93.9 FM

I would rather post a quick little drawing of my little WNYC tote bag than no drawing at all.  I did this during today's meeting and added some color with colored pencil when I got home.  

I just wanted to acknowledge the presence of this little tote I carry around every day.

Dan, Mike & Melissa

If I don't take a few minutes to draw during the day, they will be taken away from me.  Today, it was toward the end of class with my Freshmen.  I added a dash of watercolor later.

Worksheet

We were sitting in a meeting at school today, and my sketchbook was in my purse, so I used the worksheet someone handed to me to doodle on it.  Nothing earth-shattering or that would push me out of my comfort zone.  Just meeting doodles.  Pilot pen V7, my favorite of them all.

Babylogue

 

I have kept a Moleskine (a babylogue?) since the birth of our baby.  It is full of anecdotes and drawings, like this one done quickly tonight of a bottle that has been sitting on my dresser.  We are trying to get Nora used to formula, hence the presence of the dark blue and gold bottles around our house.

Old brown bag

There is no shortage of camera bags at our house.  This one is probably the oldest -- its fake leather is almost gooey.  Eeew.  But it does look like it belongs with Gene Hackman in the French Connection.  Though I guess Gene Hackman never carried a camera bag in that movie.  Or did he.  I never saw it in its entirety.

Green tea ice cream

I've never had green tea ice cream -- I just found a neat photo in Yusheng's photostream on Flickr and wanted to do a little exercise in values. 

2B mecanical pencil (at least I think it's 2B -- it's the one I use at school) in Canson sketchbook.

Wagonized is really running on two cylinders.  So much so that I was prompted to enter my ID and password with Typepad to start this post!  Also, the days of doing a drawing in one sitting are over.  I did this one in 15-minute sessions throughout the day today.

Blah

Boring meetings can yield some interesting sketches, but that wasn't the case two days ago.  My doodles felt blah and I felt the same.  But it is the beginning of a new sketchbook -- a little 5.5 x 8.5 Canson that I keep in my purse.
