quakey wakey

Moleskine Thursday:



Inspired by the lillies in my front garden which have since fallen off.

And yes, I felt the earthquake last night. Felt like my cat jumping on the bed. I guess being from LA you get used to these things but not really.

Gallery Openings are the new Black

Apparently I really needed a gallery fix this weekend so I went out and got me some:

My first stop was the new Seth Carmichael gallery. I will be participating in a group show here on Sept. 15 so I was eager to check out the space. Cool gallery and they are shooting LA Ink at the tattoo parlor next store:




Oddzoo, Karen Preston, and Matthew Feyld.

This wee show kind of rocked my world.

an excuse: I didn't post earlier in the week because there was nothing interesting to say. I didn't make it to any shows last weekend. I went to a wedding and a funeral and finished work on some new designs for Blood is the new Black.

I'm scared to post about my plans to go to this show on Sat. because whenever I talk about going to a show that I've really been looking foward to the plague hits or something and I can't make it. But regardless, I really love the work of Ashley Goldberg and Michael Hsiung and I want to pick up this print that I ordered:




Here are my slightly early moleskine Thursday drawings. Very loose and sketchy and weird. It's fun.

what i want to look at all the time

This morning while going about my usual blog reading I came across the artist/illustrator Carmen Segovia via the decor8 blog.



I'm really moved by her work. Her online portfolio is here.

long legs and levitation

More furniture. I'm sketching a lot of furniture lately. Generally I'm always drawing characters and though I love creating characters I'm trying to push myself to find inspiration in other subject matter and experiment more.

ya gotta hand it to me

It's been a while since I updated the Etsy shop so here goes:

4 new ink drawings as part of my "affordable art" project. The series is called "Small Hands." More info at the shop.

There are still a few sisters who need adopting as well.

I forgot the point I was trying to make here
