weekend vacation
–I’ve been on the road, traveling and visiting. It was great, but I’m pretty happy to be back home and in my artspace.
ALT: crayon drawing of a cartooney personage striding and waving their hands, stepping out in one direction and looking back in the other. Lots of colors and curved shapes.
we’re hiding down here
ALT: ink drawing. A person and a squid behind a sort of curtain of kelp and bubbles
wind harvest
ALT: crayon drawing. A stalk of grain silhouetted against a pink/purple sun, over blue and yellow fields. A blue-gray arc slices in from the bottom left, and there’s something that might have started out as a pine tree sort of floating beyond it on the left, I’m really not sure what it’s doing there, or what it’s trying to be.
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.
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.
flock of arcs
ALT: crayon drawing. A swarm of green fish shapes, seen from above, swim through a series of interlaced circles and arcs. The fish actually started out as leaves, that’s probably why they’re green.
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.
