… Because at the moment I’ve got a a dooming leadline.* On the rocks with a slice of orange and a shot of B12, thanks. With all the talk of B12 Campari cocktails around here, I had to go out and get myself some actual Campari. For the sake of the blog. [...] Categories: Drawings

For the past week, I’ve been unable to draw. I did try. But even making a big mess with some crayons seemed completely impossible. Now, it appears that I am slowly awakening from my anemic stupor and can finally do something. Hooray! And for some reason this cell phone charm caught my eye. As [...] I conducted a little experiment yesterday. But first, some background: This week has mainly been about taking care of a number of things I had been putting off, and a few, more recent (and urgent) things. Since I live in Italy, most of these things involved getting certificates with official-looking stamps on them.

This week’s Sketchy Saturday offering was inspired by the Sketching Spark that suggested to “draw something grass green.” I happen to have a lot of things that are grass green because it’s one of my favorite colors.

Okay, well, technically you can get American-style coffee makers now, in the big electronics stores. I have no idea where you’d find the ground coffee for them though. Our little caffettiera is a bit different from the [...] And there is honey involved. Remember my post about how not to start the Sketchbook Project? I had been following my own directions very closely and then today, the unthinkable happened: I actually started the project. I know! First I spent a good half an hour plotting out every single page because apparently I [...] When I’m working on a project, I always take it as a good sign if I forget to feed myself. If I’ve lost track of time so much that the only reminder of time’s passing is my grumbling stomach, I know I’m going in the right direction. Surely, if I’m enjoying the process that [...] Notice how it’s Sketchy Sunday now, and not Saturday? Yep. So. I haven’t been around the past two weeks because a) I had made a really bad Day Job-related decision and b) my laptop decided to give out on me. In the middle of a gathering. Clearly, it had to be replaced, and I’m [...] Folks, it’s time for an update! Remember my mama-to-be friend who came to my house for an art exercise to explore the imminent experience of giving birth? She ended up creating a pastel drawing which she took home, and then later brought with her to the maternity ward when The Time came. She was [...] My workspace is one of these. I often get a little resentful about it because I’d like to have a real studio with, you know, a door instead. But I’ve given a lot of thought to space recently, in part because I’m writing a wee ebook on some of the issues and obstacles that [...] |
This site is a record of my (almost) daily creativity practice. It's mainly silly drawings with commentary. Or silly writings, with a chance of illustrations. If you want to know more about this site, click on this picture of me in a tomato-red Fiat Cinquecento.  |
