Wheel of Life
I’ve been working on some mandala ideas lately, and the endless cyclical nature of things as well as the tree of life. This image is one of the slides in a new video slide show. (My first YouTube slideshow!)
Fanny
Even at the beach, she appeared unruffled…
There isn’t much that would ruffle Fanny
Her countenance of fortitude
indicative of an intelligent woman
with no real bones to pick
other than the major ones one must face
Highway
Just to illustrate my point
I re-worked an image that I did to illustrate a book cover years ago. It fit The Daily Napkin today, so I thought that I would re-create it for that and here.
I am noticing that it has been a month since I posted an image. This is not a good trend. I intend to remedy it.
The Story As I Know It
Sometimes things get jumbled in the telling…
Like Kilroy – and Accidental Drawing
He appeared on my desk…an accidental drawing
I see faces everywhere. Always have. And when I start to draw, faces appear. It’s just the way it is.
I accidently spilled some permanent ink on my desk the other day, while I was playing with a pen/brush thingy that was really cool, instead of working on what I was “supposed” to be working on. I tried to wipe it up with some paper that I had at hand on it’s way to the recycle bin. It didn’t work real well, because before I could really clean it up, there was this fellas eye staring back at me.
Of course, I immediately dripped some more ink on my desk, and semi-wiped it up. There he was – my accidental drawing! With a tiny tweak or two I had a new visage for my desk. I don’t know if he really can be cleaned off my desk. One day, I’ll get tired of him staring peekedly at me, and I’ll attempt it. In the meantime, I dressed him up with some layers here, and wrote him a poem. I thought I’d give him a moment in the limelight before destroying anything.
