More bonsai!
I’m still drawing these little trees. I just like them. Here they are: I’ve posted the last 2 to instagram already. The first one is going to live here for now. I don’t know if it’ll ever make it over there. Maybe. I don’t know. I have / had a longer post typed up on…

Update:
I have been working. I swear. Just not doing the work I want to be doing. Too much work for other people and not enough for me. Too much working for the county. Since I’ve last posted here I’ve gotten more into the leather thing. I made a nice little wallet: I’ve had to get…

DOGGO!!!
I did a little watercolor drawing of Charlie here: I know I’ve been way behind on my goals, still. It’s really difficult to keep up on possibly unrealistic goals. I thought I was being fairly reasonable when I set them up, but apparently was overreaching. Part of my problem is that I come home from…

Falling behind, but still accomplishing things
I refuse to fail entirely. I can fail partly, or even mostly. But the effort is always a partial win. I had been behind on this aspect of my goals for the year anyway when last week happened. It was an 80 hour week because of snow removal for work. Long week, but hopefully rewarding…

First real WIP post
I know this drawing doesn’t 100% make sense. It’s far from perfect. However, there was some early color added and that looks something like the next image. I was thinking about a drawing I had done a while ago, said drawing is very similar to this painting. While drawing the original image, the thoughts going…

Accountability
I really need to be the one that holds myself accountable to myself. I want to setup a schedule of work outside of work, a schedule for art & making, and hold myself to it. I don’t need to spend a whole world of time spent outside of work but it does need to be…

Some Mixed Media Collaboration
I have the habit of not knowing what to do. It’s actually a paralyzing fear of blank pages, but that’s a story for another day. So to combat this I do some “automatic drawing” basically the surrealist/dadaist practice of not paying attention and scribbling out some shapes in one continuous line on the page. The…
