Dragon in the details
A work rhythm has been fairly firmly established. I wrote about that in my last post. My days now have a regularity that goes like this: Breakfast time contains sketchbook drawings with or without characters from my currently in progress childrens book “How To Draw A Dragon” Perhaps after eating breakfast I spend a few…

An odditorium of books, walks, green dragons and cookies
Literature and art are forms of self care and of care work. I’ve thought of this as I have worked in my household surrealism projects. Home is where most of us practice self care and care for others. We all need regular care and comfort, including the care and comforts to be found all of…

Crows, writing, art and the odd sandwich
This week in the Odditorium aka household surrealism I thought of how often I use the same pens to write and draw with. It’s not surprising really as elsewhere in this blog I have written about the similarities I see between art making and writing.

This Rabbit some lunch and books
This week was filled with photographing my illustrations for a new children’s book tentatively titled “This Rabbit” (as I wrote last week). Then I uploaded the photos checking the digital images against the original artwork for accuracy of color. Sometimes I had to retake a photo. Once all of the illustrations were digitally correct, more…

Bunnies books and blooms
As I mentioned in my last post I’ve been sorting and winnowing my illustrations and poetry for a new children’s book.

Rabbits roses cups cards meatballs and book muchness
I’m having fun with new combinations of colors. In a recent post I tried a yellow and grey color set. After posting about that a friend said she liked pink and grey together. So I tried that combination this week. I’ve enjoyed playing with odd sized elements so I continued that in this new ink…
