pushing myself to be proactive on my day off. i had a back-to-back breakfast and coffee date with two different gal pals in the city. i moved a load of stuff from the old apartment. i fiddled with flickr to try and work out technical kinks. i played with markers and pastels. oh, and i made some unsuccessful sketches. but i am forcing myself to try and incorporate materials i don't normally like to work with.

tomorrow i have to do a crazy clean sweep of the apartment. the hands and knees scrubbin' kind. right now our home looks like senior year of art school... not a good look.

  3. these drawings look as lovely as your work always does, new materials or not. but how are you still moving out of your old apartment? didn't you have to be out of there a long time ago?

  5. Your drawings are seriously growing on me. Not to say I didn't like them before, of course not. They're gorgeous! And now I'm completely infatuated. Please let us know if you sell them?

  6. thanks y'all... i haven't really considered selling them... i've never sold my work before. i get this weird guilt about selling anything i draw, like i should only give them away. it seems so foreign to me. instead i hide them in closets and trunks and suitcases, only to look at when i am reorganizing or moving.

    but thank you for being kind, i'm much more accustomed to receiving ruthless, design school criticism.
