snippets
ALT: water soluble graphite, crayon, and ink; abstract, mostly. there is an identifiable seashell pointing downwards, and something that looks like a bitey mouth with very sharp teeth, and also a tent shape with what looks very like a sunny-side-up fried egg. lord knows where all that stuff came from; I was barely awake while drawing it.
grumpy bobbles
ALT: ink and crayon. a bunch of red and blue blobs floating around in the background, yes like bubbles or pebbles but I mis-typed bobbles and I like it. ink doodle on top of something that looks a bit like a surly rabbit or big-eared mouse.
a frayed knot
ALT: ink and watercolor, abstract. think colors and twisty dribbly shapes like early autumn vegetation, still blooming but starting to hoard vitality in seed and roots rather than leaves and flowers.
asters in gloaming
ALT: ink and water soluble crayon. very loose image of three flower clusters under a purplish sky with a crescent moon in it.
life boat
ALT: crayon and ink drawing of a bunch of fishy creatures among a sort of network of waves, and a sunny spiral above giving off squiggly rays. really, this whole planet is a life boat in the ocean of space, if you think of it that way.
hawk watch
ALT: crayon and ink, abstract. soft color bands that could represent landscape, in water soluble graphite and crayon. on that ground, black ink lines that could be seen as two figures standing with a piece of equipment like a telescope or something between them. several birds in the sky.
fragments from the end of summer
ALT: ink and watercolor doodle. something like the seedhead from a spent flower up top, the wing of an insect perhaps, the butt of a hornet, and a line of yellow ovals – bubbles of pollen? – drifting across.
Shared Gifts – September Artist Trading Cards
ALT: 9 cards, each made with the rubber-stamp image of four skulls, a ribcage across a pair of skeleton hands, and each decorated with rubber-stamps of a heart, a flower, an anchor, a shoe, and a house. The skeleton rubber stamp set was a gift to me. Decorations of leaves were made using a pen nib that was also a gift.
dropping balls
ALT: water-soluble crayon and ink. a blue juggler has one foot way up in the air, one ball in hand (almost), one ball on the grounded foot (almost) and one ball apparently rolling downhill behind them.
lit sky
ALT: ink and crayon. rolling green-blue hills under a purple sky. two stark while swirls in the sky, and a forest of wavy vertical black lines. the hills are marked with ink lines that have the energy maybe of dancing or running people.
