I was watch­ing my twit­ter stream this week and saw a post about Artist and @Platea founder An Xiao head­ing to Art Cen­ter Col­lege of Design in Pasadena from NYC. The tweet was humor­ous and I tweeted to An wish­ing her a safe jour­ney… A … Read More →

a lost drawing

21 Jul Filed under studio. No comments.

I redis­cov­ered the image of this draw­ing while archiv­ing some files. But find­ing the actual draw­ing has been a bit of a chal­lenge. I was think­ing of revis­it­ing some of these processes… espe­cially for the larger draw­ings. Scal­ing some of the vocab­u­lary to 4 times … Read More →

in the studio : July 2010

19 Jul Filed under studio. No comments.

It was 9 am and already 82° when I headed out to my stu­dio sun­day morn­ing. It’s a two mile walk or so. I usu­ally break it up with a stop for a cup of cof­fee or break­fast on the way. This sun­day Mar­garet walked with … Read More →

water sketches : autumnal seaside

19 Jul Filed under studio. No comments.

I always carry a cam­era and a sketch­book. Some­times I carry a set of col­ored pen­cils or aqua pen­cils and a water brush. These are a few small pieces done by the sea­side last fall. I was revis­it­ing them since I have been work­ing on … Read More →

little bits of drawings

17 Jul Filed under studio. No comments.

These are a few of my moo cards. Almost all are gone except for a doc­u­men­ta­tion set that I’ve kept. It’s almost time to make a new set. Pull out scans of more recent draw­ings and make another lim­ited set. Its won­der­ful to look at them … Read More →

in the studio : July 2010

13 Jul Filed under studio. No comments.

Back in the stu­dio — finally.  It was a most excel­lent day of draw­ing on Sun­day. I lit the incense, put on my ipod, and drew almost non­stop for five hours. Step­ping back into the groove with a lim­ited vocab­u­lary, ink draw­ings and iconic marks, made … Read More →

the space between

10 Jul Filed under studio. No comments.

I’ve been liv­ing in the space between. There is so much art in my head and no oppor­tu­nity to be in the stu­dio. The ideas are begin­ning to take up every last bit of empty space in my head. //

just one gosh darn minute… updating to wordpress 3.0

3 Jul Filed under publications. No comments.

Hav­ing a lit­tle bit of trou­ble get­ting my new theme to work with the old image data uploads. Work­ing on it. I’m into process and you’re get­ting to see the ugli­ness of it right here. I was using some odd hacks to make this all … Read More →

in the studio: stella’s got her groove back

21 Jun Filed under studio. No comments.

At last a full day in the stu­dio. It has been dif­fi­cult get­ting in a rhythm since our move to Old City. Unpack­ing, set­tling in, and work­ing have kept me from estab­lish­ing a time to get to my stu­dio and make art. Sat­ur­day I spent the … Read More →

Oh yes, Square Artificial Wheatgrass

5 Jun Filed under studio. No comments.

Just found a sup­plier for some plas­tic wheat­grass. I’ve been look­ing for it for awhile. The plas­tic bldes are just stiff enough… yes, I am excited and have devi­ous plans for my 6 x 6 inch squares. Each 6 x6 square will be a dis­tinct piece. … Read More →
