Month of the Moleskine - Day 13

I've archived the whole Month of the Moleskine drawing set here.

Month of the Moleskine - Day 12

Hey! Happy Friday!

It's a big weekend in Southern Illinois......The DuQuoin State Fair starts today! I'm a little confused about the whole thing.....Last time I checked DuQuoin was not a state and the Illinois State Fair takes place in Springfield. Hmmm.

I like the calm and simplicity of #12.  You can tell I was in a good mood when I drew it.

To see the entire Month of the Moleskine drawing set - make your way here.

Have an exceptional weekend friends! Ta-ta.

Month of the Moleskine - Day 11

Hi. I have a secret to tell you....

I didn't actually make this drawing on the 22nd. (Gasp!) Tuesday was a really slow day at work, so I did it then. I added a kind of wood-grain pattern to these goofy looking "1's".

Take a peek at all of the Month of the Moleskine drawings here.

And if you haven't yet seen my new prototype illustration, please take a look and let me know what you think.  Gracias.

Month of the Moleskine - Day 9

Hi. How was your Monday? What's on tap for today? 

I admit, I didn't have as much to give today as I did yesterday.  I don't know exactly why, but my motivation was waning.

To see the whole "Moleskine of the Month" drawing collection, mosey over yonder.  

On another note: If I was still teaching, today would have been my first day back to work. Though I do miss the regular paycheck and the students, I still feel happy with my decision to stay "retired" from teaching for a time. I'm grateful that I have this time and opportunity to pursue some other options. 

 

And lastly: I have a new idea to share/ask you about later on today or tomorrow.  Stay tuned and ta-ta for now!

Month of the Moleskine - Day 5

Hi. How are you?

I hate to waste a page in my Moleskine. This drawing covers up a dorky looking "3" that I attempted to draw a few days ago. I think I was pretty successful in recovering the page. What do you think?

I guess the use of the number of the day is sticking around. It's nice to have something to start from.

I'm looking forward to spending a day in the studio tomorrow.  I'm working on a chair that I shot in the Tinker Swiss Cottage.

Ta-Ta for now!

Month of the Moleskine - Day 4

Things are starting to flow.  Ideas for this drawing project and other work are swirling around in my head. I'm feeling motivated and on top of my game. Hope I can keep this up.

As lovers of vintage and handmade, Matt and I would love to register for our upcoming wedding on Etsy. There are so many incredible things here that you just can't buy in a store!  

Though I created this collection all by my lonesome, I know that Matt would agree with my choices. He is a huge fan of the "Mad Men" style.... He's drawn to Midcentury Modern, all things Scandinavian, clean lines and simple silhouettes. As you can see, his tastes have rubbed off on me! 

I was able to import this Etsy Treasury, links and all, with a hack I came across on Whale Shark Websites by way of Twitter.  What an easy way to import a ton of links in a hurry! 


I hope to have some new artwork to show you in the near future, but don't hold your breath. There just doesn't seem to be time for that at the moment. 


Ta-Ta!
