moly_x_portrait entry

I finally finished one of my entries…

(grahite pencil, aprox. 8″x11″ on moleskine sketchbook)

This is for a international moleskine exchange, where each of us draws a self-portrait, then sends it to the next person, and they draw themselves and the person whose book they have.

Inspired by Sara’s picture in the woods, I drew her, and myself [...]

Our car’s in the shop again. Actually, Fab’s car. The one he drives to and from work. The one we already spent a ton of money on.
The point is, he was home today. So after dropping Phoenix off, we went on a lunch date.
We went to jules in [...]

a bird series

I’m starting on a new series.
Birds.
If you’ve talked to me in the last couple months, you know how excited I am about birds. It’s my newest hobby. Watching and photographing birds. Reading about backyard birding, feeding birds, and identifying birds.
So I figured, why not draw birds as well. I certainly have [...]

i finally finished

yeah, unbelievable as it is, i finally finished another city drawing.
This one had been in the works since just before we left the city, in July.

pen and colored pencil on bristol paper, approx. 8″ x 6.5″

I finally took the time to put on the finishing touches, and it’s done. Now I have 3 city [...]

church and art

Lately, church and my art, seem to be linked.
I mean, somehow, while there, while listening to the pastor, or Sunday school, I find the “moment” to sketch.
Maybe because I am sitting still and not amidst a million tasks. Maybe because I am not in front of the computer. Maybe because I make it [...]

sketching in public…

always attracts attention.

Last weekend we were in Fairfax. While we were visiting Fab, Sr., we also got a chance to see some dear old friends. Ginger and Spinner lived with me in California, while I served with Steve Hughes and Yosemite Christian Ministries. As a matter of fact, they were a welcome [...]

edm challenge #5: draw your bed

It would be nice if my bed looked like this…

But my bed looks like this…

more often than not.

Oh well. It makes for a more interesting drawing.

church membership

Deciding to move from New York was a no-brainer.
As a matter of fact, it had been around 3 years of prayer, hoping for a chance to get out of New York.
You might think that is crazy, since most people are trying to get to NYC, instead of getting out.
Well, the thing is, when you have [...]

my favorite subject

When in doubt, I love to sketch my husband.
I don’t tire of looking at him, and his goatee and hair changes always make for interesting drawings.
This sketch is the only decent thing I managed to draw on saturday, the first sketchcrawl date of 2009.

sketchbook exchange

I’m in a sketchbook exchange; specifically, the Moleskine X Portrait Party 3.

What that means is, that I got myself a moleskine sketchbook(this is what I use for sketchbooks most of the time) and I drew a sign in page…

Then I drew a self-portrait…

Now, it’s been sent on to a guy in Newark; This guy, Danny, [...]
