Doesn’t he look friendly? I found this can on my morning walk a few days ago. There was a little bit of wax in the bottom that was probably a candle once upon a time. Maybe someone used the candle on New Year’s Eve. I love how a simple can turned into a grinning […]
Trying some new things - especially crayolas over random blocks of text.
And I do mean bright! Two more pages a la Teesha Moore
I love cadmium yellow. It was a little bright for this project, and unfortunately distracts from the cute characters, but I was mainly interested in how my various pens would react to the paint’s surface.
This page was painted with some cheap acrylic from the […]
LADIES… The Queen of Color reveals the magical secrets of fly extermination. You no longer have to suffer the miseries of filth and distraction wrought by the nasty beasts. Simply aim the COLORVATOR in the general direction of the offending beasties and upon impact with the patented laser lamp all associated body parts explode in […]
A few of the many wonderful expositions at the Day of the Dead celebration at the Rose Maine Theater in Fort Worth. I’m so glad this holiday has taken root in North Texas. I’ve long preferred it to Halloween. It’s such a joyful celebration to people in our lives. If you click to see the […]

I thought the individual parts strongly resembled interesting alien creatures. My favorite new word was “otoliths”. I think they’re ballast for […]
I pick up lots of cigarette packs while walking around the neighborhood. I think they make great found paper for collage, especially Camels brand. I’m surprised at the variation of designs and colors just within a single brand name. How on earth do people choose their smoke? It’s more complex than ordering a coffee at […]
It seems like there’s never enough money for all the things I want, but the last year has really been tight. I spend so much on computer & camera-related stuff and fixing the house there doesn’t seem to be much left over for new clothes. We have a dress code at work, so I can’t […]
Micron 05 brown pen, Micron orange brush, Marvy LePlume red
I feel I’ve been going in circles the last week. Maybe that’s why I’ve been making lots of circles! I finally decided I needed to knuckle down and learn Illustrator. The rep at Adobe assured me my more-than-ancient version qualified for upgrade to CS4 even though […]
