digging through some old papers and found this.  i was really into writing on photos for a while.  and i used that alphabet stencil for everything.

i am happy with the way this sign came out.  i used to think i had to fill the page edge to edge with information, color and images when making anything.  i am glad i've learned how to keep it simple.

this 'best of' eddie money has the same six songs over and over.  this is the first in a series of 'best ofs'.

i forgot i made wrapping paper few years ago for christmas.  i used brown bag paper that was left over from something else.  this isn't the best picture-->

my favorite are the skinny ones on the left with the all over print.  they took the longest, but i thought they turned out the best.

 

i want to start making my own wrapping paper.  this is my first attempt.  i am happy with it, though it took a bit too long.  hopefully with practice i'll get faster.  i guess that means i need to start giving more presents.  maybe i'll start wrapping library books before i return them.

whale tale

 .

most of what i make is pretty small.  i like something you can hold in your hand.  i usually don't work much bigger than a postcard.  i am comfortable with small.  that is why i thought i should challenge myself and make something bigger.  so i compromised; i made a big whale out of tiny flowers-->

i really enjoyed this process.  while my wrist and hand did suffer, if was still so satisfying.  here is a detail-->  

i've always liked repetition.  when i was little, my mom would give me a bucket of water and a sponge brush and i would paint the deck.  while the sun quickly dried up anything i put down, i kept going.  i thought if i went fast enough i could finish the whole deck before the sun had a chance to suck it up.  i felt the same determination with this (even though nothing was getting dried up).  i got so lost in it, that each flower i drew was the only thing that existed in that moment.  each flower i drew felt like a surprise.  i was totally obsessed.  i was glad when it was done, but still feel the need to do more.  there is something about drawing the same thing over and over that i can never get enough of.  i am learning how to be bigger, one tiny flower at a time. 

i was trying to draw beavis and butthead from memory.  apparently, my memory and hands do not communicate very well.
