whew.
So I’ve been slammed all summer with work. Taking too much on as usual. All of June/July was spent moving everyone off our server. All of August was spent redesigning our site. Now, we’re into our busy season – the OMG-I-have-to-be-live-by-xmas season. So, the next few months around here are going to be bananas to say the least. And now that I’m finished complaining, here are the goods.
I’ve posted a few new pieces of art in the doodles on the right, here they are in full size:
We were driving home and I saw this utility pipe cap sticking out of the ground. It was bright yellow and had big twist handles on the front and I immediately loved it. Came home and sketched it out.
This one I did a while ago while watching Doc Hollywood (don’t laugh). As he’s walking down main street, he asks someone how they are and they said, Well I couldn’t be happier if I was twins. I spent the rest of the movie drawing.
Inspiration is the hardest part of art I’ve found. The idea has to come from somewhere, the rest is just practice. Another really difficult thing – drawing mirror images. Notice how light my pencil marks are, I’m totally gunshy to get in there and commit to the design for fear I’ll want to change something. Graphics are so much easier, I don’t ever really have to commit to anything. Does that make me an art-commitment-aphob? I’m working on that.
I have more to share that I made, but it’ll have to wait. They’re gifts and the recipients might be watching! Must.keep.on.dl. This is very hard for me you understand.
Enjoy your holiday weekend (if you’re in the US), meet you back here next week for the post-holiday hangover once again.
