Parks: Mothers with kids, men reading the papers, and a traditional horn ceremony?

Took one of my usual walks to the High Line and sketched what I saw. I didn't expect to see three people in traditional dress, carrying a ceremonial horn, followed by a crowd of people. Later I googled it:

Karma Chain on the High Line

Revisiting old characters

These two characters are from an idea for a TV series I thought up along time ago and have thought about recently. The drawings on the end are ones that I drew a year or two ago and the middle drawings are the ones I did today, trying to flesh out my idea of the characters. But I'm still not quite there yet with the character designs. I expect a lot more drafts.

Eventually I want to write a script for a pilot episode and then, maybe, if I feel like it will go any where, I would like to animate it.

My little corner of the world.

This is my bedroom, office, living room, pantry, kitchenette, art studio, and storage space all-in-one living quarters at the nunnery. Watercolors and pen.

Backyard Relaxing

I was visiting my boyfriend, Juno, again and we were chilling on the back porch, sketching. His niece (age 2) came outside to see us.

Me: Hey do you know what I'm drawing?
Niece: Trees!
Me: Yeah!
Juno: Grass isn't pink.
Me: That's the shadows, and that's how it works in my world.

The model that likes to stick his butt in the air...

These sketches are from two drawing nights ago, before I went travelings.

See, this model kept sticking his butt up in the air like a cat and it made me laugh. He also did other poses that were funny and so I added speech bubbles.

Going back in Time!

Here are some thumbnails for paintings. If you look closely you will see the thumbnail for the painting that I just posted earlier today. Hahahaha.

Oh that's right....I have a blog

Yeah, I knew I would forget at one time or another to post my daily works. And I did. But I was really art-ing a lot since last post, really I was! Look a painting I did!

Up On The Roof

Yep, we have roof access here at the nunnery.

The birds who made me smile.

Some quick sketches of the birds from my walk at the High Line park today.

Artistic schlump: that's what I've been up to

So I disappeared to Enola PA last week to visit family. I had a great time, but I've been feeling not that inspired to create art. But here is what I did anyhow.


Watching America's Next Top Model:





I get so glued to this show some times it scares me. Above is what I drew while watching. I'm not sure that I like it.

Idea Fail:





I thought I had an idea for an awesome short film. Then I wrote it down and didn't like it anymore.


Another card:




I made a card for a baby shower. But I know it's hard too see, I didn't think to take a better picture before I licked the envelope.


Some Practice:





I went to the park when I got back to NYC and did some really quick sketches of the people going to work. I wanted to stay and draw more, but my hands froze from the not-really-yet-spring weather.
