Sorry for the delay

It has been kind of hectic here since I last wrote. I helped a friend move from one town to another, and get moved in and his things put away and all that, so since Tuesday, I have not been able to do a whole lot of drawing. That being said, I do have a bunch of drawings that I did last week for last weeks post that I will put up tonight.

Michelle Ward has a new challenge up this month about collecting evidence. Ticket stubs, mail, photos, whatever memorabilia that helps you remember a certain special time either recently or a while back. I will be doing that before long.

I also have the bookmarks in the works for the Atcsforall.com challenge. Almost done with those. So exited to see what I get back for marks!

So without further adieu here are the promised photos of artwork from last week to this week. More to come! The top 2 pieces were from a book about how to draw Fantasy Creatures. The bottom two are mine. :D Enjoy.

Uh Oh!

First I want to apologize for the lack of pics. My camera is dead and I don't have easy access to a scanner at the moment, but as soon as I have batteries for my camera I will put up my new work.

In the past week I have been doing a lot of drawing. I have thus far stayed true to my resolution of doing something art related every day. The first two days since I started were original and only took me an hour or so each to complete. If that. Yesterday I did quite a lot of drawings all based on a single book about cartooning that I've had for what seems like forever. I think I was still in high school when I got it. We won't mention how long ago that was... ahem... Anyway, I never even attempted any of the exercises that were in the book until now. I am quite proud of the end products though. Pictures will come later, promise.

I have a tendency to move from one thing to another, to another, to another and I believe that this is why I haven't developed my skill further than where it is at now. So I have decided to slow down and redevelop my skills from the beginning, and go from there. See how it goes, so there will be a lot of practice sketches coming up.

Right now I am working on bookmarks for a mail art swap from atcsforall.com. I like that site, and have gained quite a bit from it. I am also signed up for atc swap about eyes. I love to draw eyes and I will put up my work as well as what I receive from the swaps, as long as I can get permission to do so.

I will also be doing the art crusades from Michelle Ward's site http://www.michelleward.typepad.com/how_cool_is_that/ They are not only a lot of fun, but they get me to try different things and mediums that I wouldn't normally try. So whoot! Plenty of variety to come. I will upload some pics in the next few days once I get batteries in my camera.

Wowzer

So after an enormously long hiatus, I am back in the scene and feeling more artsy than ever. This is my goal for the new year. I am going to do something artsy EVERY DAY! Even if it just a simple doodle on a restaurant napkin. I am going to post something new every week, at the very least. Sometimes more, it depends on whether something tickles my fancy or not. And, I am going to try to sell some artwork, so if you see anything you would like to have, whether to shove away in a closet or perhaps a bookmark or what have you, please let me know. I don't have anything that I would sell for more than 25 bucks, so if you see something you like, it never hurts to inquire. I got a lot of canvas and artsy things for Christmas this year and plan to do more painting. I have one in the works now, that I am especially proud of. Anyway, so this is an interim kind of post, the next one will be no later than Friday, and I will have some artwork to show off! Yay!
