on the floor and...

just saw the final score for the winter Olympics hockey USA vs Canada... kinda hoping for a gold for the USA, but a silver will do...

dirty feet...

walked around the woods today... in shorts, sandals, and a light shirt. 50 degree weather in february in spokane? i won't complain, i rather enjoyed it. seeing a moose two blocks from my house was a great treat too!

they're back

went for a walk this morning and found moose tracks. this evening while walking the dog, came upon this... i smiled, ran home and got the camera.

k-6

a couple little drawings of me as a kid... kindergarten and 6th grade. bow tie then butterfly collar... such the fashion guru, i was?

nuther vid

here's the last moleskine complete, in case you don't want to scroll through the past forty plus posts... today was nice, it started out as a snowy morning, then it warmed up and all the snow melted...

another book done

another moleskine done, guess i'll have to make a "video" and put it on youtube. i'll probably go back and so a little more work on this one... time for bed, good night!

simple...

after filling in the past page in black ink, i decided to go a bit more simple...

i'm a little worn out, been cleaning the carpets, all the throw rugs, and the rest of the house. all this in preparation for my wife's return. the only comment... what did you do while i was gone, this place looks like a mess. guess i man's standard of cleaning doesn't meet up to the expectations... oh well, at least i had a decent meal for dinner.

no smoking...

never understood the appeal of smoking. tried it once as a young adult... wasn't for me. now back to drinking a guinness. tomorrow wife returns from seattle. i better finish steam cleaning the carpets.

white hair...

another page done three more then a new moleskine... i'm sitting here listening to jimi hendrix if 6 was 9... the dogs are playing... i'm enjoying a guinness stout, and doing laundry... what a night!

less ink again

now to go for a walk...

more black

folks i'm tired, sorry this didn't come out like i intended. after i scanned it i also noticed i hadn't finished some other details i had planned on doing. oh well such is life. i'll go back and do some more work on this...

a little less ink...

went with a little less ink then normal (for me). busy night around here so i had less time to draw tonight. i need to get back to labors. i'll draw more when the time makes itself available.

happy pres day...

president's day is nearly over, hope ya had a good one! tomorrow back to work and all the fun that comes with it.

dates...

the sketchbook i did a little while back is in this tour. drop by and check out the books if you're in the area.

zzz

valentine's day came and went, we had a nice day. we spent the day hangin' out. for dinner i made ribs on the grill... mmm!

smile..

monthly theme on 'skineart is "smile". figured i'd submit this and then get on to other drawings. it is beautiful and sunny today, i'm going for a walk.

losing steam...

the drawing process machine that i am is slowing down... need to get motivated, i have a lot to do. work has been funky lately, just found out i'll be travelling real soon for far too much time. couple weeks here couple weeks there with a few four day trips between. i shouldn't complain i have a job...

take a load off...

i've seen several folks that carry quite a bit of stuff with them. it has to become a burden, but they probably need every bit of it and more. i have also found stash/cache areas where the homeless "hide" their sleeping bags and extra clothes. i may draw one of these areas... hope you folks back east are doing okay with all the snow.

rest

still working on thoughts for... tomorrow i will walk about to take some photos, then in the evening enjoy the visual arts tour. hope to see several people and have some good conversations.

saw something tonight...

driving home tonight, i saw something that warmed my heart (a little). passing by the trash can, that i've seen some of the homeless go through, i saw that someone had left a 2 liter bottle of grape juice and some food (all unopened). the sight made me smile, then i wondered why i hadn't thought of that. little acts of kindness can help out. well here is another practice piece for the next long foldout sketchbook. hope everyone sleeps well.
