collage for mr. medlen

i hadn't made a cd in awhile, and i hadn't made a collage in awhile either, so it seemed only natural to get in a quick fix.......

one for the catalogue, ink from a few years back.....

this is ink on paper in a mini moleskine. drawn from an airline magazine i found on a flight back from chicago after my grandfathers' funeral. i wasn't allowed to sit with my wife and kids, and it was a pretty awful experience, drawing this was my coping mechanism. go figure.

here's a painting circa 2004. paint on plywood. it's a chicken......no, i don't know why.

i made this collage in maybe 2004, 2005. i put it together for the front sleeve of my work binder. i see it every day i go to work. it has sat in the sun, been caked with sawdust, wrinkled, etc. i still can't bring myself to replace it........

oh my god! something new!

well, i know it's been awhile, but i'm starting back up again. for real, this time! i drew this yesterday at my docent training for the art in action program at my son's elementary school. i teach classes every couple weeks, and we have to get thru a yearly training where we learn the lessons first before we can teach them. i drew this with oil pastels on newspaper in between projects. what fun!

skull drawing

i really don't enjoy drawing most of the time. every once in awhile, though, it comes together and it's fun. i drew this on a little 3 by 4 inch canvas aboot 2005 with a pencil. it's a skull. an alien skull. it's hanging in our hallway.

bubbles and feet.

so my digital camera pauses a moment before "snapping the shutter" as it were, removing you slightly from that perfect moment it's so easy to catch with something that responds right away. so it's nice when i get an image with the dc that catches a moment. this was at the harry potter book release party for deathly hallows. fynn was a little over a year old. nico was harry, i was a wandmaker, and kat was hermione on polyjuice potion. she ended up winning the costume contest.
