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.
the fields beyond
ALT: crayon and ink, abstract. soft fields of red, yellow and green glow beyond a tangled network of black thick ink, like twisty branches in a dark woods.
winding to center
ALT: ink and watercolor. a ball of red yarn at the bottom right corner, lots of swooping concentric lines with lots of imaginary writing along them, enclose a space that has maybe two people, or maybe it’s just the nose of a cat poking through.
conspirators
I’m not spending much time drawing lately, but these doodles continue to amuse me so I carry on with the daily project.
ALT: ink and crayon doodle. a horse and a bird of some sort are head-to-head while a face that might belong to a sunflower of sorts looks a bit appalled. the horse is wearing green eyeshades, and the bird might be in a suit. if such a thing could be made to fit a bird.
sing to summer’s end
ALT: ink and crayon doodle of a chirping insect, like maybe a katydid because it’s bright green. it’s on a brown and green ground, under a pink and purple sky filled with dream writing that might be the chorus of summer singers around it.
