January 17 work in progress

As photographed through the microscope, yeah baby! I got a midget camera for Christmas (hey, if the big one is "The Beast" this one has to be "The Midget") and the lens is so tiny I can shoot through the scope. Awesome.

This project wasn't actually supposed to be art therapy... :-/ This is actually a tree in the back yard. I sat on the sidewalk and drew it while Jessie (dog) panted all over me and Olin (cat) played with my shoe laces. Maybe I should have written that on there. I love them. The critters. Not the shoe laces.

If you're wondering about the swan and tiger projects, I'm still working on them but have not made much progress. To say that this week went in an unexpected direction would be an understatement, and that has really thrown me. I'll bounce back... again. Sigh.

I hope your day has been better than mine.

my heart on my sleeve

Dear Universe,

You suck. I know, that's a little harsh, but come on now. Why do you have to break my heart? Every six months, is this the new theme for me? I don't deserve this, I really don't. I am good person, I have so much to offer, and the only people capable of seeing that are the ones to whom it doesn't even matter. That's not fair, I don't deserve for this to happen. Is it too much to ask that there actually be someone out there for me?

Don't tell me to get back on the horse. I can't even think about it that for a long time.

Please send Cupid down there, I'd like to kick his cherubic little booty into the next century.

I submitted an application to the 20th Street Gallery's 50-50 show today. I should find out next week. I also went to see the Warner Brothers exhibit at the Crocker.

It's been a rough day.

January 11 work in progress

I don't know if I'm doing this right. This is not a good photo either, I didn't feel like getting lights all set up for this.

I've made a lot of progress on the scrim piece but have not inked it so there's really nothing to see yet!

30-30-30 Project: Day 1

Okay, if you didn't catch this in an earlier post, I'm working on a new project, I call it the 30-30-30 Project. Starting today, ending February 9th. 30 days, 30 art pieces, $30 each. All images will be 2 x 3.5 inches. The theme is pretty broad, anything I find around here, but I have to work from life and not from photos. That's not something I do often. I also have a self-imposed time limit for each piece, as I tend to work very slowly. I really have no preconceived ideas of what I'm going to work on, part of the adventure is finding something every day. I'm excited about this! :-)

So here's day 1:
