Liking collage lately. Trying out multiple media. Having fun.

Liking color these days. And the use of tightly spaced lines to create texture. I’ve also been playing around with stitching on paper, kind of “drawing” with a needle and thread. Lots of ideas floating around in this head of mine, though it seems I never have all the time I’d like to flush them out on paper… And it seems I can’t ever quite match the physical drawing to the image in my head. Got to keep thinking of this sketchbook as a work-in-progress.

I’ve fallen a little behind with my “weekly” sketches (studying for my test side-tracked me for a couple of weeks), but I’m determined to catch up. With this gray weather we’re having, I’m hoping to find a cozy place to curl up with my sketchbook this weekend to do some doodling. I’ve been playing around with different media lately, but I’ve found that I’m still a big fan of a plain old ink pen.

I’ve fallen a little behind on my “weekly” sketches, but I’ve managed to squeeze out a couple of doodles lately. Really liking drawing with ink, after so many years of drawing only in pencil.

I have expressed my disappointment in my lack of creative productivity lately, and so I have set a small but significant personal goal. I’ve been inspired by the ’skine.art blog (a new fave) to make more use of the Moleskine that I carry around with me and have committed to doodling/sketching/collaging/creating in my sketchbook at least once a week. Here are my last couple of endeavors:
lamp/couch/light-washed wall (06.01.08):
abstract still-life collage (06.07.08):
It’s a start…
