more botanical prints; production friday.

Today was a pretty productive day.  Though it's been pretty hot in the studio (86 degrees out, yikes!) I've been trying to keep cool with a fan blowing in my direction. Although I'm sure the endless supply of hot coffees I have been consuming haven't added to the cool at all.  Time for iced!

So here's a sum up of some of the things I have done this week:

And from the web, a fun and insightful video about bike rush-hour. How crazy and amazing?

Happy weekend. I'm looking forward to lunch with a good friend, more artwork, and some lovely cooking - maybe some new recipes!

Starting to get somewhere.

I've recently felt like I was in a rut with my illustration. Drawing myself over and over again gets tiring, and considering I focused my thesis in college on self-portraiture I felt the subject was getting exhausting and repetitive. I needed a change of pace, and while I may one day go back to portraits, (maybe even self-portraits!) I wanted to switch to something enjoyable. I really like sketching rabbits, and, seeing that I don't have the option of owning one of my own, at least I can draw them and dream about having one in the future. :)
