moving2

did a little more after repairing the lawn mower (again) and some other garage tools... looking forward to tomorrow, another day off! still a few hours left in today, maybe i'll draw some more.

moving...

slow progress, spent the weekend in seattle area moving my daughter... went downtown but didn't draw, should have... lots of interesting things and people to draw there!

walk in the park

took a walk in manito park today. sat down on a bench in the japanese gardens to sketch. i didn't feel overly self-conscious and finished most of this there. i'll try to fill this sketchbook with sketches done around town.

tattoo you...

this didn't scan too well, oh well, i'll be posting again once it is finished and the next couple pages are drawn...

other pages so far...

couple more shots of the current moleskine. been working a lot slower than i had planned on. work has been far to busy, and so has the home life.

more color...

Actually got the pens out today... The weather here is starting to turn, I hope to enjoy the rest of summer before it is gone. Next weekend I take Kristine, my daughter, back to Bellingham for school.

working in colors or my grey heart...

Going back through this moleskine... Friday talked to a gallery owner and he has booked me for a solo show in June of next year. He looked at my last sketchbook and wants to do a show of my sketchbooks. I agreed, so I plan on finishing a few more by then, as well as a dozen or so of framed sketches... I also got a call from another place that wants to sell the ceramic whistles... I only have a few left, guess I better start making more.

1/3

About one third of this Japanese album style moleskine is roughed-in. Now, I need to go back and do more details and the back ground...

another dark haired woman...

something about dark hair and eyes... will continue on this theme. eventually other hair color may make its way into this book.

last night...

Suk, my wife, was really into the movie she was watching. normally she moves around too much to draw. This moleskine will have various drawings of her throughout the years we've been together. That's 24 of them almost exactly, wow, where did the time go, and wow, i feel old...
