Illustration Friday: Ahead

It's already started. The vines just grow and grow, and no matter how often I go outside to attack them, they still are always ahead.

Illustration Friday: Detective

You wouldn't know it, but he's playing the detective, trying to figure out what microscopic bugs (illustration to hopefully come soon) are wreaking havoc with his digestive system.

Illustration Friday: Dip

Here, finally is an Illustration Friday submission, even though I'm hard put to explain it. Something about the everyday dipping into the eternal and/or the eternal dipping into the everyday. Both directions result in profound changes. Somehow it seems appropriate that I finished this (if you can call it finished) on Easter Sunday.

Shadow Man

Something is not working with my computer uploading pictures. My Illustration Friday upload keeps giving me an error message, so I'm going to try a different one. I started this picture the same time I started the other one (and decided that the two of them were done the same day too), not because I'm happy with it, but because I don't see what else I can do with it.

Time to start some new projects!

Rescue me from the Art-Doldrums!ly

It's pretty pitiful, when this is all I have to show for the past several weeks. I'd thought that I would have lots of time to make art over spring break, and while I did work on a few things, I didn't finish any of them. I just don't know where the rest of the time went. And then when I came back, it was a week of parent-teacher conferences, and NO TIME, and then 75 essays to grade, and I'm really starting to feel desperate.

So here's my small small contribution to the topic "Rescue" which I did finish (yeah, it took all of ten minutes to do), but didn't have time to scan and post.

I took today off school to get mulch for my garden from the city mulch sale, but it turns out they sold out yesterday. So after spending two hours getting and returning the truck, and making borscht (one does have to eat), and running five miles on the levee trails, I'm reading to work on art projects. YEAH!!!
