This is a drawing I did back in January, for a dr suess related project that I am no longer involved with. I want to expand my portfolio, so that I will actually get hired to do art, as opposed to very nearly hired, as occasionally happens. More often than you'd think. But I have trouble motivating myself to produce when no one else is relying on me.

PANTS!

I am working on a quilted masterpeice. And it shall be pants. I keep taking over Barbara's room to sew.

Landing gear

I'm tired and disoriented still from all the travel. Today was the first day in a while I've gotten an appreciable chunk of alone time. I've been around people almost constantly for more than three weeks. And today wasn't totally without people either. I need to better set aside time to do "alone things," like cleaning.

I think I put down the landing wheels, but I forgot to rotate my wings, to slow myself down. That's what I need to do now. Stop, get my bearings, then launch myself out again on a different journey. Hopefully a metaphorical, 4 dimensional kind, which involves actually doing the things I intend to do, artistically, organizationally, and... culinarily? And otherwise. I'd like to plant some food, for example.

And update this blog at the self imposed times. :)

I'm tired and lazy, and have decided to procrastinate on making a post until I have some photos I'm excited to post. There you have it. At least I've bothered to make excuses?

tangled lives

Traveling is just making my life feel confusing. Wonderful people everywhere, and I can only know people so much...

Here are some tangled iron... things. That I saw in Portland. They can represent my folks here in Portland: fairly solid, sweetly interwoven.


Here is a candle holder hanging from a tree over looking the bay. I like this tree a lot because it is a good shelter from the wind. Also because the objects are always changing. This can be like my Berkeley people in that there is a little bit of a constant element, but it is in a stage of growth, and will develop into something bigger. I don't know what I will find there, sometimes.



I'm feeling dazed and confused from the constant stream of a lot of people I don't know very well, and I don't imagine that will be amazingly better when I go back to CA, depending on what I do.
