a big tent
ALT: ink drawing. a stylized sun with black and yellow rays shines below a blue roof or sky made of swoopy curves. Some streaks that could be birds spangle the sky-web. The drawing also works with the sun at the top, but this is the orientation I had it while drawing.
f**k it, let’s dance
ALT: crayon and ink drawing. A humanoid, a dog-like, and a bird or bug-like skeletal beings dance by a river in a field of flowers. There might be flames rising in the distance.
we’re hiding down here
ALT: ink drawing. A person and a squid behind a sort of curtain of kelp and bubbles
warrior of sunlight and air
ALT: ink drawing, abstract, but it could be seen as the upper part of a being that seems to be made of bones and fibers. The background color is mostly yellow and rose, hence the title.
garden offering
ALT: ink doodle. Some kind of blob-shaped critter is holding a flower in its hand and mouth. The critter is yellow with a green stripe, has antennae and a rat tail. The flower is something like a sunflower.
friends a long time.
I just spent the weekend with three people I’ve been friends with since highschool, so 50 years now. This is not a portrait of us really, it’s more like a tribute.
ALT: crayon and ink drawing showing a group of four women. Just faces and torsos, I didn’t draw any hands. The words “Friends a long time” are written diagonally across the page.
waiting in your garden
ALT: crayon and ink drawing. A spring onion supports a butterfly in the upper left corner; a cartooney rabbit critter casts a wary eye toward a sort of spider. Some random lines of pale green triangles provide a sort of structure for the extra space in the drawing.
moon baby seeds
ALT: colored ink drawing, simple lines and shapes, mostly blues and greens with a few pink-orange spots. There’s a crescent moon up top, balanced on the leaves of a plant, which also enclose a compact oval-shape that could be a tiny person. there’s another, larger one, head downwards, off to the right. That one is in a water-drop shape, that is connected to the ground by a series of yellow droplets. I didn’t have anything profound in the front of my mind; I just wanted to relax into simple, pleasing shapes and colors.
hang the night on a janky scaffold
ALT: ink and graphite drawing, abstract. Some fat dark lines structure the page. There are shapes that could be sky, wires, stars and moon on the upper sections, and scribbly lines below that could be the energy of the town’s streets at night. Color is mostly blue, with yellow highlights.
how does this body work?
I confess I have been looking at reels of baby elephants in all their floppy awkward goofiness.
ALT: ink drawing of a baby elephant with its legs splayed out in all directions. A mother’s trunk reaches in to help.
