307: oink
hey, you guys.
spent all day in the studio yesterday.
i'm trying to get back on track with some exciting stuff i have going on. can't wait to share it with you when it's official!
i'm working on a bunch of design-y/illustration type things but yesterday i mostly just played to loosen up.
That's usually the work i like best- my weird, non-commercial doodley drawings:

just messing around with color and pattern, expressions. always experimenting.
nope, they're not 'pretty', but i love 'em.

oink.
oh, speaking of oink, i have been eating yucky (yummy, but makes-me-feel-yucky) food again and skipping workouts. gearing up to rededicate to the healthy things i do which help me feel strong, peaceful and creative.
yep, i am most creative when i am eating great and getting lots of cardio! i think it's working off the physical stress that allows the ideas to flow. plus the peace i feel when i eat well allows me to do work without judging it- which is essential.
they can't all be gems.
today i'm off to an estate sale followed by a power walk with a friend. then to the studio. if i get any goodies or make any, i'll show you .
xo, m

I really like your sense of line and color.
Oh, and I kinda liked Charles II also...
I don't do any design, but I like to doodle flowers and stuff while I'm waiting for my old computer to warm up, and your faces are giving me some inspiration to do faces of my own! Thanks for being my muse today! :o)
And the girl's mouth is so totally fetching.
Glad you are creating and thanks for sharing.
Peace,
Tracey
I have been thinking about you a lot, hoping you are healing from all the pain...I sure wish I had really re-discovered my muse when my bro died...I am glad you have been playing with yours....
Hope you are getting a break from the harsh weather and feel that Spring is actually coming. Here in NC Spring is here despite having real snow last week. Moving from New England last year was the best way to retire.
Its been awhile since I last left a note, sorry, I have been living in a fog these past few years! So sorry to hear about your loss. I can't even imagine what you are going threw, hopefully in time things will seem better, and I am glad you have a great man for your support around you. I have rededicated myself this year to get fit for good and yes working out helps allot. I am now on the p90x program and loving it. I love these fun little doodles!Its the thing that keeps you connected to what you really love, without being forced to do it.
I have found that this year I have had to learn all over again how to enjoy my gift and to do what I want rather than what is expected. The licensing business is really bad but it forced me to open up myself to all possibilities! Keep it up and you just never know.
