New book
January 18, 2007
Ah, the fresh, crisp promise of an untrammeled moleskine! And thus I open Vol. 49 of my ongoing adventures.
Our pal, Moby, invited us to a concert at a tiny venue on the Lower East Side. We were smack dab in front and it was as if he was playing right for us. As always, I can't draw very well when music is playing but I did try to do a quick surreptitious sketch in the press of the crowd.
Jack is becoming an expert on blacksmiths and is always popping up with various bits of trivia about colonial life. Yet again, my son is starting to show that he is now smarter and better informed than I am. He must be stopped, the little weisenheimer.
We have also been plagues by the endless shooting of 'I am Legend' with Will Smith in our park, klieg lights blast the 'hood all night long. We are all becoming vampires, just like the critters in the story (coincidentally, I just read the Richard Matheson book it's based on; a reasonably good horror story).
A record of my exploration into all aspects of drawing, illustrated journaling, creativity, and the inspiring aspects of art. By the author of "Everyday Matters," "The Creative License", and "An Illustrated Life" and other books.

Good beginnings for #49! Love the 'movements' details you've given to the smithy.
And good beginnings for Jack and his tee!
It is great to see your having a first reading!! It's a good tryout before the big crowd at the HOW conf.
But, Where Oh Where, is Patti with her journals/scrapbooks projects from back in Jan. 2004?! I also think she has a powerful way with words when she lets them out on postings.
Looking forward to good happenings with all of you!

Good to see you being creative on paper again. Good self-motivation and for others.

it's really cool how you can draw and color virtually everywhere. do you carry like a small box of paint/markers along everywhere you go?

Love this Smithy illustration, especially how you made it aglow...I know where I'd be hanging out if Will Smith was in town! :)
