too much red

a quick draw of the boss... i thinks i went overboard with the red... i may clean this up, then again i might not... later, i have to get back to steam cleaning the carpets...

kristine

did a drawing of my daughter tonight. now that it is late i should get ready for bed. tomorrow we have a neighborhood clean-up. in the evening i hope to work in clay... we'll see.

another close-up...

I've been getting into doing these close-up drawings. I need to get another Japanese album style sketchbook going. My thought for a theme was a series of close-ups. Anyone have another idea, I'm always open to suggestions.

red... again

did another little drawing, it has been a few days since i picked up the sketchbook, i feel guilty. Last Saturday at "art in the garden" went alright. i sold a couple sculptures and just under half of the whistles. i had two people approach me about selling the whistles at their shops. the jury is still out on that.

IF: cracked...

sgraffito on clay, don't apply too much pressure while scratching through the slip or your tile may become cracked... this one didn't ( a couple did).

Theme for Illustration Friday was/is "cracked".

with all the stress i've cracked...

not the best shots...

couple different angels of most of the whistles for this weekends art event. a few i will take better pictures of for documentation purposes. anyway, it's getting late and i have a few things i need to attend to prior to bed... later

red

self portrait in red... long days at work. tired, but not much sleep, tonight i'm doing a bisque fire, so i can glaze and finish firing stuff for the 23rd. too bad i have to get up in 5 hours, maybe i should try to go to bed...

IF: parade

the theme for Illustration Friday is: parade...

After she told me to go play in traffic, i paraded my sorry tail out in the street...

clay whistles...

haven't been drawing much lately, i've been making clay whistles for the "art in the garden" thingy that is coming up in two weeks... need to bisque fire these little dudes, glaze 'em, then fire again... these all work and several play multiple notes. all total, there are 35 (not all are in this picture). now back to drawing...

IF: Hierarchy

Probably not my best work, but it fits the mood lately. Saw the theme for Illustration Friday was hierarchy, so i took a stab at it.

took a walk downtown...

walked around riverfront park today. the sun was shining, the air was warm, the park was full of people. most of the people seemed to enjoy the beautiful day. i decided to draw the clock tower. it felt a little awkward at first, but as i continued... i kinda enjoyed it. maybe i'll start sketching in the park and some of the cool stuff around town.
