another day in the life...

oh, hi there...
i didn't see you there...
how are you?
here's what you've missed, thus far :]

sketchbook update:




going out to draw on location was a huge sigh of relief for me...
i still can't believe how lucky we are, as artist, to be able to have the ability to draw what we see
to report
to observe
and to document

it's a beautiful moment when you get to spend a few hours just drawing
buildings, trees, crowds, etc... :]

Portland, Oregon update:



swift watching was magical...
what are those black spots on this photo, you ask?
"Swifts are insect eating birds that migrate south each fall. At sunset during migration they choose a place where dozens to thousands of birds can roost (sleep). Since the late 1980’s the Chapman chimney has been one of these roosting sites."


i doubt i'll ever experience anything like that again... sigh!


soon to come:
tshirt idea
"finalized" pieces (hopefully soon!)

cheers!
till then.

summer in the city means...







portland,oregon has been awfully nice to me lately.
i have been only making lists of actual pieces not in a sketchbook..
but alas, i carry my sketchbook around more then a 18x24 sheet
so please be patient as i crank some out...
being an "artist" has blossomed into something more then just visual drawings this summer

it has become, to me,:
words
thoughts
poems
diagrams
research
rest
concepts>drawings
astronauts
psychology
coffee
movies in the park for free


be expecting in the following months:
1. actual posts
2. lists of projects (that i WILL complete)
3. blogging style more so then an "art" blogging style
4. pieces of the wazoo [school is starting up again and it is THESIS time for me]
5. collaborations (i hope)
6. pictures
7. book recommendations
8. hopefully more followers
9. tentative website
10. ___________________



ps) would anyone be interested in a tshirt that has the image of the astronaut for my first drawing??? start the poll ;]
