My world of the Mystery of the Missing Socks is growing with many characters. Soon I will begin grouping them and building conversation poems between them. This is the princess. There is now a royal family: the king, the queen, the prince and the princess.
This card illustration came together in a single sitting. I’m really excited that this design work for the evolution and systems game Evolve! is giving me a chance to draw new animals. The red-billed oxpecker is a showy African native that moves with the migrating herds of ungulates. It lives off the parasites and insects associated with large grazers such as zebra and wildebeest.
This challenge is off to a slow start art-wise, but it’s feeling pretty good overall. This little guy made it into the card design for the new evolutionary resource game Evolve! More to come as other projects move aside.
Spine: Capture the colors of winter
Rule 1: Paint/draw at least 30 minutes a day
Rule 2: Use minimal transparent watercolors, pastels, melted paraffin wax and/or India ink.
Rule 3: Create simple compositions with a loose, less defined style.
Favorite season….most inspiring to me by far. To be outside, observing, taking pictures, moved by the shadows, sunlight on snow, and the pristine beauty of a fresh snowfall. Have not missed a day yet! It is fun to challenge your “fear” of trying new techniques and loosening up your style.
I am trying to mix it up- c;lose-up details and views that give more information
I printed this image in sepia because of the subject matter
My project is to photographs in my house to see my familiar environment with new eyes. Experimenting with photo programs on my phone. Will post and print one image (4.5×4.5 inches on 5×7) each day. I will be inteested to see whether my photographs or their subject will change over time.
My first image. a Chinese scroll we received from a Chinese friend when she lived with us for a year
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Spine: For 100 days, I’ll be exploring the relationship between our surroundings and the words we use to describe them. One image created daily (photographs to start), with at least 10 minutes spent at the end of each day reflecting on the image & choosing a single word to describe the image.
The second part of this project comes in the form of exploring these images & words through social media, and as such, I am looking for people who will view my images and come up with their own words as descriptors. These reflections from others will be brought together for presentation in form of infographics. Certain images will also be rendered in fiber (hand embroidery) and displayed alongside photo prints.
My goal is to be able to recognize patterns in 1)the images I’m drawn to recording in my daily life; 2) the words I use to describe these images; and 3) the words “outsiders” would use to describe the images from my life.
