Something fishy...


Yes, yes, I know. Clever title. Just a quick goldfish sketch. Orange ballpoint and colored pencils. 

On an semi-related subject I would like to apologize for the poor quality of the photos. Please note that I am trying to get it together to get the sketchbooks scanned. Finally got the silly scanner to load on my computer but apparently something is still awry. The scans were acceptable but would not upload. Blah, blah, blah, excuses, excuses. The term "technologically challenged" is perhaps overused but never when  describing me. Learning more about all that electrically-magical-mumbo-jumbo is also on the list of new year's resolutions. Stay tuned.

Dear Sneakers, 
     When we will be close again? Once we spent so much time together. But now I can't wait to take you off. I tried to take you running this morning but you hurt my feet. Please be kinder next time.

If I spent as much time working out in my sneakers today as I spent staring at them and drawing them, I would be ready for a marathon now. All my good intentions of working out, cleaning up the yard and organizing the "studio", a.k.a. junk room, fell by the wayside. Once again I fell into the MTV rabbit hole. Remember when they used to play videos instead of glorifying dysfunctional youth? Ah...the good old days. Yet I am guilty of watching them try to loose weight, raise babies and permanently ruin Jersey's reputation. Tomorrow, I'm definitely going to make up by reading classic literature or books on educational theory or at least watching PBS. Really. Oh and I'll work out too...

Juggling



Tough week. Not enough time or enough limbs to get it all done. I was not the Queen of Getting It Done this week. Thank goodness for life-saving, life-affirming, soul-soothing bubble baths. Happy Friday.
