I Noticed.....

Things I Notice:

-My cat likes to shit as soon as clean the litter box.
-Accomplishing things on my list seems to add new stuff to my list.
-My drawings are better when they are free-er... all my art is actually.

I like my new fish drawing that I did on an old atlas page...
am obsessively working to get my blotter finished.

Awake at 4am

Hello and good morning in the wee hours of the definition of the word.
Yesterday was day 27 of 30 dresses in 30 days. It was a cold and rainy day and I had to errand soooo I bundled up in layers and included one of my favorite skirts, so comfy and there is a color to match everything, or nearly everything.

Living alone works for me best I think, tho I do ponder the alternative, I am not so easy to live with when I want to zone out the world and create. Walking into a room of friends art and Freddy (lower left corner) I feel welcomed and ready to work.
Read some more of Maira Kalman's 'Principles of Uncertainty' and added more color etc to the blotter paper on my computer table. It is really a counter that was never installed on top of two military water canisters that are full of art supplies and sculpture covered with paper from a roll Andrea gifted me a few years ago and I am still enjoying the possibilities of so much surface at my pencils tips.
The water is boiling on the stove awaiting the noodles I am about to add to the rolls of bubbles and perhaps add coffee to my snack. Its 4:10 am and after sleeping a toothache away after drawing since 2:30 p (with a brief whiny away at 6:30p) I am now wide awake and motivated. Boy, I think I may be sleeeeeeeeeeeepy later.
Gonna go see what pops out above the giraffes head after I snack. TTFN PS OC

A creative Eyeore kinda day.

Its funny how I look for clean clothes in my drawer when I know I didnt do laundry, or something to nosh on in the fridge when I didn't yet market.
Feeling rather sick today, its cold and rainy and rather.... Where the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep is spring?
Added some doodles to my blotter paper that has now become a work of art two of my best friends have both said 'mine' to when I texted images to them.
Best friends are like colors to me..... the joy is tingling and impossible to consistently like one more than the other. To be blessed with the quirky crew that I have.... whoa!
My life feels like my drawings.
I often feel like a cartoon, suppose thats what happens when one is raised by artists and a cartoonist and pops out with the itch to create herself.
Well, I am going to go balance creating with curling up with soup and tea and cozy away from the cold raininess that is outside my window.
What are ya'all doing to stay nurtured and creative today?

My artist brain

Hello and happy Wednesday.
It is amazing how many emotions one can, I can, feel in the course of a day, oh hell in an hour, or even 5 minutes sometimes. Is that a sign of the times, the artist brain, just the way it is or just me. I dont think its just me. If I remember to hang by the water, walk the tracks, blow bubbles and turn the video recorder off in my head the colors that go with the music are alot more pleasant.......... or just bring the whole noisy, chaotic party of voices to the studio and hopefully the answers will fall out. At the very least I will find refuge in the zone for a while with a souvenir from the process. CM

Seeds and Flowers

Finished this yesterday.... its collaged bits from an eyeshadow ad from a glamour magazine with acrylic and sharpie.
I like the comic-y feel to it.

Spring, 30 dresses and texture.

30 dresses in 30 days

hosted by Five and Diamond Vintage Store in Hudson NY.
We wear dresses each day of April to celebrate the onset of spring. I am loving the romantic feel of dressing funky, cute, pretty just because. Tomorrow is day 5... what to wear? :)

Life is interesting and a constant source of suprise and wonder to me... someday I hope to be more graceful, though my wiring does add texture. Am working on a couple of books and some interesting wearables that I am excited about. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand my indoor garden is on its way.

What are all of you excited about during this budding season of color, wonder, sunlight and dreams.
