September 14, 2009

One tried and true, one totally new (new place, new faces, new to draw on the back of a grocery bag for want of proper paper), and one a tightly wound, slapped together mess, as are most fridays.
As they should be.

Meh. We try.

an unsuccessful departure, overthought and overworked (a reoccurring theme, it seems) - but movement none the less.


i'll be in southern utah all next week so no posts till after that. but plenty of red rock upon return. i promise.

June 2, 2009

top three are "what ifs" (living by a word), then the latter five are par for the course, save for one of plants from a stop on the road (if only we could sit and paint flowers without being elderly or insane all would be all right).

scratchboard illustration, positive and negative.

March 2, 2009

a momentary detour.

February 22, 2009

i can't say i am entirely pleased to be posting everything below, but a promise is a promise, and ten is ten. so there you go. some forced, some fleeting - and a few, as always, with a risk of regret.
