  • What’s in the Box

    What’s in the Box

    So, as I have the time, I’ve been plodding along, a snail’s pace, slowly, working on my notecards.  Once again, I’m feeling in a level mood, I can concentrate, and not everything looks bad.  My wrist is becoming more flexible finally.  Spring is off to a good start.  So, here are recent additions to the…

  • I’m Up For a Challenge

    I’m Up For a Challenge

    I honestly thought this would be easy.  I should have known better.  Making note cards with a drawing on them that people would like, and buy.  It’s a challenge, but I’m stubborn.  In fact I’m thinking of getting a tatoo that says that.  “I’m Stubborn” So, another day, another learning curve. This is a small…

  • Kind of a Drag….

    Kind of a Drag….

    No!  Not that kind of drag. It’s a drag trying to draw with a brace on your right hand. I can’t do the subtleties I’m used to. It’s all coming out a lot sketchier than I like. It looks like a good style of loose drawing, but it’s not mine.  However, in time, I shall…

  • Hit the Road, Rox…..

    Hit the Road, Rox…..

      I’m really looking forward to Spring. I probably said that last year, and the year before…..but it bears repeating.  C’mon Spring. I thought about it and I miss doing art fairs.  I managed to score a white tent on Ebay, and as time goes on find creatively inexpensive display items. i finally found a…

  • Happy Valentines to all you Lovers

  • This is not my Photograph

    Fabulous Photo I found this on Google Earth, and it’s credited to Jan Prosek.  I’ve been trying to seek out a website or a link to his work, to give him proper credit. It’s fantastic.  I have artist envy. I also wish I could find a way to paste the image in, rather just link…

  • Making Progress

    Making Progress

    It’s Imbolc for Pagans, and Groundhog day for the rest.  It’s the day that early signs of spring are celebrated..the beginning of the end of the long winter. My cast is off, and I’m on to physical therapy. I can nearly write, which means I can nearly draw.  I’m typing normally again, in other words…badly.…

  • Get Out the Tanning Butter!

    Get Out the Tanning Butter!

    The title happens to be from the song “Rock Lobster”, by the B-52s.  Strangely enough, that happens to be Our Song.  Yes, that’s the romantic tune to which my partner and I bonded, on our first date.  Most importantly, it was the Labor Day weekend, the last of the lazy, hazy days of summer. Ah,…

  • Happy End of the Holidays!

    Happy End of the Holidays!

    Okay, finally….life is back to normal. I have a little ritual in winter, as the days grow longer.  First off is Yule, then Christmas, New Years, and then January 2nd.  Here’s the drawing that I made in celebration of t hat celebration. The ritual includes such things as The Superbowl, and Mardi Gras.  And of…
