GUN + KNIFE + CHESTER

Today my friend Nora had a big group of ladies over for apple tarts, tea and drawing.
I drew some guns and knives, and a portrait of a dear friend's dog who passed away after 18 years.

This seems appropriate for today. It was snowing a little bit.

Rob Dunlavey is an incredible artist.

PINK MANIFESTO

A while ago, on pink index cards, I wrote down some things I think about when making art.

VINTAGE FRENCH PAPER CRAFT

A generous flickr user posted hundreds of vintage French paper crafts—primarily from the 30s.
They're posted at large sizes so you can print, cut, and construct them.
I also pored over her other collections for hours.

DRAWATHON

Two watercolors that I made at the drawathon that Aya and I recently hosted.
The idea was to create 50 drawings in eight hours.
Photos from the big day of drawing here.
