So nice to have you back!
I just love the trash picture. I'm a dumpster diver world record holder.

Wonderful. Now you must paint them and send to The Times. Everyone will be looking to see if their trash was your treasure. You have inspired me to do a journal page on plants that I have rescued from a local dumpster. Yes, living plants whose only misfortune was to have taken a rainstorm on the head, damaging a few blooms, and suddenly they're bound for a landfill. I can't tell you how many foundlings have found their way into my garden. Like puppies at the pound - bred and discarded.

Welcome back! I love the trash drawings...it's amazing what some people will throw out. We have a *like new* washing machine that we rescued from a hard-rubbish collection two years ago...our old one had just blown up, so it was providence ~ the salvaged one is still going strong, and still looks like new!
I think your "John" sketches are great too, it just goes to show that every aspect of life can be chronicled well in drawings.

Glad to see you back up - I missed seeing new sketches.
Been pondering the general thing-infestedness of my life ("Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness" - John Ruskin... how very Victorian, huh?). And it's occurred to me that a lot of the stuff I have, I have because it just plain strikes me as cool. So maybe what I need to do here is make all these things pay their rent, so to speak - they're all fodder for the sketchbook. Since I keep a lot of my stuff around just for purposes of looking at and admiring in general, what better way to really look at them? I'm taking your lessons to heart. So - lots of new sketchbook activity going on over here, which is a good thing.

Yesterday I posted my new project called 200 less THINGs... in an attempt to rid myself of 20 things per week for 10 weeks running. And looking forward to 200 edges of white space in my chronically cluttered world.

That ugly white chair is a piece of durable medical equipment for getting in and out of the tub. No one would buy it unless they were sick. So now I wonder if they got better or....
