Drawing with Audio

I've been listening to Grapes of Wrath while drawing.

I love listening to audio books and podcasts while drawing...

but it does creep into my work.

Just under the wire: Fall Favorites

This last week in Denver has pretty much killed what remained of fall.  Usually our transition from Fall to Winter is a flurry of 70 degree days mixed with bouts of snow.  This year winter burst in and threw down a full week of snow!

I had to quickly document my fall favorites before we get buried in snow! 

1) Cozy Clothing: scarves, hats, and sweaters.  It's almost like walking around in a blanket.  Because that's awesome. 

2) Pumpkin Tea:  Tis the season for tea!  I'm super excited to try this Carmel Apple tea from Celestial Seasonings.

3) Pumpkin Beer!  And yam beer!  It's almost like a seasonal mini drinking side-adventure.

4) The Harvest Moon.  It always catches me by surpise one fall night, looking at the Denver skyline and realizing that giant glowing orb on the horizon is in fact, the moon.

5) Fall Leaves.  This fall was particularly long for Colorado.  We got in multiple drives, hikes and other leaf viewing activities.

Hope you had a toasty tasty fall as well!

Never turn down opportunity.  I get excited to drive down a new street.  New hikes, new grocery stores, new countries... Let's Go!

Things can get a little weird when you let my pen run...

This is my Love holding my two other loves - one of which chews on spoons.

30 Day Challenge: Something you don't Like

30 Day Challenge: Something You Don't Like:  Negative Thoughts:

It's funny.  I struggle with negative thoughts quite a bit, but I really can't draw them well.  My style is inherently warm and fuzzy.

Must be my brains version of a coping mechanism.

Sick Days

Things I draw when ill.

I managed to catch a cold this weekend.

Can't keep the doodles down, even when you're dripping.

Just stuff some kleenex up your nose.
