Dabbling in Watercolors
I picked up two watercolor/pen & ink sketchbooks this weekend. One of them is 3.5″ x 5/5″ and the other is 5.25″ x 8″. They were the best price for quality and quantity. They’re leather bound but have an elastic strap to keep them closed and they had more paper per booklet than they others. [...]

Still Working
I haven’t had many Art Blog posts with most recent posts being Pie Blog posts, but I have been working. My progress is just very, very slow. Earlier I made a made an entry asking what people thought about the photos of my work, because I was starting to enter my work in some shows [...]

Join Me vs. Why Would You Leave Me
This is going to be a very brief post. I’ve recently come to the realization that I accidentally jumped steps in the training. I went from a fundamental exercise, Join Me, to an exercise that Pie and I will utilize later after we’ve learned other things, Why Would You Leave Me. I feel a bit [...]

Do Art! Kitemaking
Last night I made the first prototype of the small, delta kite that I will be helping people make at Muddy Creek Artists Guild’s Do Art! day. Typically when people make kites for festivals they make a sled. However, since this is an artist’s group, I sensed that they wanted something more traditional. Being that [...]

Mailbox and Art Day
This weekend was rough because I had headaches which make me not want to work on my collages. However, I worked on decorating my new mailbox because, for whatever reason my brain thinks that takes less effort. So, the pictures are of it. I’m pleased that I was able to keep working and be creative [...]

Coming When Called – Part II
Yesterday’s feedback was applied today. Here’s what we did. My father joined me at the barn and we started in front of Pie’s stall. My father and I stood outside Pie’s door about a yard away from one another, each of us with a cone behind our back. One of us held out our cone [...]

Preparing for the Mixed Media Class
Yesterday I started making efforts for the Mixed Media class. I recorded some video while I was working, however I happened to miss recording one of the steps. It had to dry and I’m still thinking about some of the options. Besides, this is just for the first night. I really want to make sure [...]

Digital Art
In 2007, the week before my birthday, I made a bunch of digital collages with different positive affirmations on them. Since I am not able to make many posts about the progress of my art since it is slow going due to having a full time job that, to be quite honest, drains me and [...]

New Routine
I’m excited, I did a sketch on my lunch break. I’m not all that crazy about it but I am happy that I’m making progress on new, art specific routines. I’m also using materials that are easily dragged with me, but not used to using. I like the pencils and the markers, I’m just [...]
I am a full-time art director in manufacturing who is working toward becoming a full-time artist. This blog is about my work and my process. The 'Pie' tab is about my favorite muse, which is another story altogether.
