The quote that I chose from the text, is "...(drawing) an active line on a walk moving freely; without a goal. A walk for walk sake." It made me think of people, how we are always trying to describe something, whether it be a feeling or an idea, and sometimes there is nothing we can say or do to describe it. Instead we are at a loss. For an artist at loss and longing to describe the seemingly undescribable, it is that scartch of graphite across the paper and then something happens, call it inspiration, an accident, a stroke of genius! This "something" grows and blossoms under your fingertips and to think it all started with that aimless line.

Those Gears!

Such a tiny, beautiful and intimate thing!

Sketch Book: Mechanics

I chose to do a little pocket watch because I found it fascinating that such a tiny thing could be so intricate.

Oddly, I was having a tough time dealing with local color. I'm so used to using relative color (“no-name” color that only exists in context), which is supposed to be harder but . . . it’s like walking on a ship at sea: you get on dry land and fall over. ---anne harris

  Funny how things work out that way. I find to share that similar experience when I start using a new medium or concept I don't understand but it can be fun to see how something you have no idea how to do or grasp turns out. It's a challenge and what is life without challenges.

Self portrait: progress

I know I really changed my concept but that's only because I didn't feel the same way as I did when I first started. To be honest I don't like the idea of drawing myself because I've noticed when you look at something for a long time you start to realize something about it. In a way I want to hide that realization especially from myself.

I bet you think I'm in love with myself

Self-Portrait: Being Literal

Being literal isn't a bad thing but I wanted to do something quirky. One of my quirks is my fascination with folklore and recently I just finished a book on Irish folklore. Most of it was about witches and fairies. Fairies were described as harmless, mischievous, and playful creatures. Their moods swing as quickly as a child and I would know since I live with two of them.
    My little brother and sister tend to rub off on me and I feel the urge to play the roles they envisioned for me. I love playing as the monster and chasing after them. Even though I am the monster my intentions are not evil only playful in mischievous sense. Which is what inspired the "elf" ears, wicked smile, and the gleam in the eyes.

Self portrait

Ive done several self portraits and I wasn't sure if I wanted to be literal or fantastical.
