"Wishing the Words Unspoken"

I often feel this way.

Another series piece

"Connectivity" (uncut)

"Connecticity" (with cut marks)

Here is another series piece that I made for a swap at iATCs. Like the other one I did for this swap, I think I like the uncut version better.

The Scope of Things to Come

"The Scope of Things to Come"

I thought it might be fun to take a few scans of my progress on this piece, so here they are:


Stage 1: initial drawing	Stage 2: ink drawn over pencil, then pencil marks erased	Stage 3: basic colors laid down with water-based markers	Stage 4: commenced shading of hands and adding layers of colors with colored pencils	Stage 5: finished piece before being cropped


	Stage 6: finished piece before being cut into ATC-sized cards		Stage 7: finished piece showing ATC cut marks

My weird brain

"False Front" 4.5 x 6.5 inches

This started out as a larger, 8 x 10 inch piece, but I thought the other characters I had added were not working well, so I cut out this piece. It seems we all put on a false front from time to time.

Space, the final frontier

2009-11-24T17:14:51Z

This piece is 8 x 10 inches. I had fun playing with shapes, colors and trying to create a three dimensional look.

Idle Hands

"Shawnee"

It was a rainy day here in Shawnee County. I got absolutely nothing done around the house. All I managed were the obligatory walks with Asha and doodlling in the studio. I just wish I had a few elves around to do some cleaning and tidying while I spend my time in more enjoyable pursuits. Oh well, at least Asha doesn't care if the house is a mess.

"Follow"

"Synergy"

I hope to improve my level of technical skill in using ink pens by doing these practice pieces. These are definitely not where I would like them to be.

We met at pod and vine

Pod and Vine

Nothing seems to come out looking normal these days, but maybe that is good.

The silence

Listening for the Unspoken Word

It seems that I am always waiting to hear what is never said.

The doodled life

Network

Just an abstract doodled piece. It has been a relaxing fall weekend with warm temperatures and fallen leaves slowing blowing. These are good Asha-walking days.

Angel of the Buried Bone

This is the final card that I made for a swap at iATCs. The other cards in this series may be viewed here. This card was inspired by my dog, Asha Zoe, who loves to take the treats I give her out to the back yard and bury them. She will bring them back indoors at some later date, after they have been sufficiently aged and are totally gross. She must have an angel who watches over this process, because she never gets sick after consuming one of these atrocities.

Finally

Family Ties

The last couple of months have been a little rough. My mom was in hospitals and other facilities for around six weeks and I had two long bouts of flu. Hopefully, things have settled down. My mom is doing well and other than still having a cough, I am feeling better. I finally spent some time in the studio today, fiddling around with this piece. My back and hand ache, but it was good to draw again.

Happy fall!

Here is another oddball piece that started with some random doodling.

"Horse Study"

This is an art card I made for a private trade. Unfortunately, It did not scan very well.

Morning ramble

"Clip"

An act of procrastination from working on the pieces I need to get done.

The Latest

Lazy afternoon

"Angel of Ill Repute"

I am contemplating joining a swap at iATCs with a theme of angels. I don't know if I will do it, but if I do, I have no doubt that my angels will be a little on the strange side.
