aim to please
ALT: water-soluble crayon. it’s some kind of person, in a blue gown and with blue headdress. grinning wide and toothily, clasping hands and little feet poking out. the head is almost as big as the rest of the body; the eyes are wide and a little scary.
about town
ALT: water-soluble crayon. a pair of personages on a stroll together. one has a purple dress and spiky blue-green hair. the other in some kind of brown garment that looks a little furry.
weavers
ALT: crayon. four horizontal lines, with brown blocks between them like spacers. each line is being grasped by robot or insect-like arms and pincers. they appear tangled, but are staying out of each others’ way.
And what is being woven? In my studio, it’s more of these darn stars.
in the soup
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon. calligraphic doodles of a goat, fish, and bird float over a ground of watery swirls with lumps in it.
tread so carefully
ALT: water-soluble crayon. a figure tiptoes rather balletically through a field of rocks and boulders.
comes the dawn
ALT: water-soluble crayon. a bare tree stands reflected in purple water under a blue sky that is lit with orange as from a rising or setting sun. there’s a little bird flying in the upper left, and maybe a swimming bird in the lower right.
thickets
ALT: water-soluble crayon and graphite, abstract. pretty much looks like ground level peering through weeds and grass. mostly green and orange, with some black and purple accents.
apology
ALT: water-soluble crayon drawing of a little flower arrangement – a purple and orange floppy rose-like bloom with a couple of little spikey things and some plumes, with the top of a vase visible. it’s pretty fast and loose.
no apologies
I continue to spend little time or energy on drawing, but still holding the channel open.
ALT: fast and messy ink and crayon drawing of something like a bear having a conversation with something like a rabbit (or maybe nubian goat). There’s a shamrock next to the rabbit and a heart next to the bear.
hug your pet?
ALT: water-soluble crayon, abstract. orange, purple and green stripey background, black lines form something that could be seen as a person holding a pet, or maybe a smaller person. who can say. maybe I watched that beaver kit reel too many times.
Meanwhile, if you’re wondering why all my drawings lately look like I spent 15 minutes or less on them, it’s because I’m spending most of my studio time on these. more darn stars, they seem to be my art-making comfort food at the moment. I’m rolling with it.
ALT: six flower shapes made of yarn and embroidery floss woven around pipe cleaner frames.
