It's all well and good, but instead of wearing them and actually mowing the lawn, i have left these buddies near my Moleskine, and i have again succumbed to temptation and drew them.
Pen, Moleskine & color in Photoshop.
I have been busy with my little contributions to our Moleskine Exchange. Today, i finished what i added to Suzanne's already spectacular Moly.
I didn't mean to make a series out of my lawn-mowing New Balance, but once i did one angle, i wanted to do more. Pen in Moleskine, colored with Photoshop.
All this drawing shows is 1) i am the kind of person who goes in and out of sneakers without undoing the laces and 2) i am having fun with adding color in Photoshop.

I mow the lawn with these on, and they are gradually turning green. I drew one when i bought them two years ago.

Here's a piece of the office/studio where i work most of the time.
Pigma Micron in Moleskine.
I was on a portraits-of-people-with-pen-in-Moleskine kick for a while, and like everything else, it came and went. Yesterday, i was browsing the amazing gallery of French photographer Olivier Roller and saw a bunch of potential pen portraits, starting with this one.

I cannot count the times i have got this wrong: i start drawing a wagon and i run out of space, because of poor planning. It seems as though Volvos are always longer than the Moleskine page. This one was no exception. But since i draw with a pen and cannot erase, my solution has been to shorten the Swedish beauty.
Once i colored it, i realized i forgot to add the little "V" logo in the middle of the wheels. I just don't seem to get it right today.

No one outside of New Jersey would believe this, but there are some seriously quaint towns in this state -- the very state that spawned Bon Jovi and Sinatra.
Today i whipped out my little Moleskine during lunch and drew what was in front of me: a funny-shaped building (a Western New Jersey Flatiron of sorts) at the corner of two streets. I am counting on this summer to afford me more opportunities to draw in plein air, and LEARN.
It's the end of the school year, and it's time to color code all the envelopes with scented markers.

Students at my school are not allowed to lug a bag around during the day. But oversized purses and small backpacks do pass muster.
While students were taking their final exams, i was walking around the classroom, getting different angles on the purses lying around.
