chasing pattern
ALT: water-soluble crayon. all-over patterns of lines, dots, squares, circles and triangles in brown, black, purple and orange, with contrasting colors in between. If you squint, you might see an upside down person being followed by and upside down tiger or something, admittedly that’s a stretch.
fancy bird
ALT: crayon drawing of a blue bird with orange feet and beak, and fancy head and tail plumage. just for fun.
2026 Collage #3, happy mantids
ALT: magazine picture collage featuring two praying mantises in very dancerly poses, with the torso of a young human in the background. The human was photographed holding a bunch of flowers, but one of the mantises blocked out that view. The flowers ended up as part of Collage #2.
zebrabbit
ALT: water-soluble crayon. it’s a creature sitting behind a plant that is a simply pair of leaves. the critter is blue, has sort of zebra stripes on its back and a vaguely equine face, but long ears like a rabbit.
tree rocks
ALT: water soluble crayon. four orangish trees stand straight in a forest, each with a blue rock at its base. well, you can’t really see if the one in the way back has a rock, because one of the rocks blocks the view of its base.
2026 Collage #2, finished and glued down.
ALT: collage of magazine pictures. a grid of 9 boxes, with the shapes of a hand in various positions cut out. in the negative space, faces or pieces of faces, not all of them human. all on a textured green ground, and on the right edge a strip of landscape that is the edge of meadow and forest.
happy flower
ALT: water-soluble crayon, simple drawing of a big dandelion with floopy leaves.
I mostly worked on collages this day. Here is a gallery of where the 2026 batch is at.
little late for a march hare
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon. portrait of a hare in some sort of clothing (badly sketched jacket I suppose). they look a little wistful I think.
2026 collage #1
I finally glued down the first of the collages I started to lay out in March. I think my practical collaging technique is getting better; this one is flat and everything is well glued down.
ALT: collage of magazine pictures, dominated by a sort of gargoyle with a belligerent frog climbing out it’s mouth, and flanked by a bosch club-wielding bird of prey. these images emerge out of a background of brown leaves and blue-green waters.
