Finding Whimsy in the Mundane
Allot has been going on in my scribbled world, some amazing, some terrifying with balances out to the customary response of 'fine' when asked how I am.
Fortunately I have the ability to scribble down things that make me smile and add silliness to hum drum, I wish I had an assistant to do this, tasks.
This doodle is the result of me fixing my clogged bathroom sink. Procrastination meant I didn't use the sink for a few days plus a few more days, clogged it up more with my baking soda vinegar remedy that would have worked if used earlier, then finally stuck my head, hands and tools under to take it apart and fix it for real. Thinking it wise to measure the probably will crack someday rubber ring to get replacements I did two scribble transfers of the black washers then put the under the sink back together. Pacing about on random other tasks the measurements turned into eyes before I made it to the hardware store then of courts flowers and spiders were a logical next step :).
I love that my artists life lets me find whimsy in necessary tasks!
How bout you. how do you make the tedious fun?

Color and Spring go together
Much of today was outside coloring with the dogs. Fortunately for me that's considered work ha ha because I have a new coloring book that I just self published, working to get it out more so sitting outside coloring means I can post pictures which means that I'm working which means I get to color in the sun and not feel guilty about it yea!!!
One thing I do like about winter is the bare tree fingers that are leafless.... The in between of New York April has it warm enough to enjoy the branches before the beautiful buds burst forth.

Hybernation
Oh my good grief it has been crazy amount of cold! All I really want to do is stay in drinking hot chocolate and draw.
The trains close to me are al caught outside, which I think is most awesome until this weather hits, its far less fun drawing while waiting when my hands drip icicles.
Once I get on its nice with the usual spattering of characters that I get to doodle during the commute to......
This how I make the most of it when Id rather hibernate with my dogs till spring hits.

Catching Up
Helloooooo
Well the posts that went up in my head did not make it online, funny how that happens. Tho sometimes i wish it happened automatically the rest of me realizes that technology is close enough and automatic uploads from my brain are not really whats in anyones interest.... really. It an artists brain that goes 34567890 miles a minute in 56789 different directions and yes, usually all at once... its like techno on steroids... eeeeeek wtf and ugh
ok, so whats been happening>? a bunch
moved to Brooklyn, some of you know that
been making lots of art, not getting into the city as much as I thought I would, also not done un packing and still have annoying bits of loos ends to tie up as well....
Being at near the bottom of NYC allows me the luxury of going to the shore allot
and I really like all the pieces of shell allot that accompany the lack of constant machine sweeping of the beach that goes with tourist season.... which is now over for the year.

Over all things are good and I like what my new surroundings are doing to my art and stuff...... oh yeah and my hair is purple now.... probably oughta take a snap of that, ya? Will put it on my list.
Glad I hopped on to say hi~... going to hop into bed and dream of water colors and glitter till the morning when I get to play with them again.
