Posted Nov. 10, 2007: Finally. I can get started on my new surreal drawing. I have fulfilled my promises and am ready to Go! Go! Go! I want to do something with the fairy's hair (what's new eh?) so I took the photo of the artwork and printed a dozen copies to play with. AND, I am just drawing and drawing (and drawing) ...until I find what I am (apparently <g>) looking for. I'm working different patterns and lines to see what the drawing wants/needs. I'm glad I went back to pencil. It's much more relaxing and that's what I need right now. Pen is SO UNFORGIVING and I'm just not relaxed enough to REALLY enjoy that yet. There was a lot of cussing on the last couple of pen & ink drawings. Let me get my chops up baby and then we'll see what happens.

Back to now: I've picked the very LIGHTEST pencil in my collection in en effort to keep the face in the background. Big AND background material: it seems I'm not into easy <lol>.

Posted June 24, 2007: I meant to take a small break and get Gary's artwork and website completed for the new musical trilogy -- a rock 'n roll, an acoustic AND instrumental CDs: a 3-CD simultaneous release <g> with free song downloads! After all, he's been VERY patient. BIGtime! But, ...this is quite cool actually... I began to feel discombobulated by the fact that I didn't have a new surreal drawing in the works. Wow! That is SO COOL. I've turned a corner somewhere: from struggling to talk myself into picking up a pen to NEEDING to pick one up. BAMM baby! I still have to struggle to find the TIME to draw, etc. etc. (am still working on that one <argh>) BUT...the need has been re-woken up. Still got a lot of corners to go and a LOT of proficiency to re-find...but it's a GREAT place to be in.

<btw> Here's the collage for my new one. I'm going to warn you: I am working on Gary's stuff TOO so this is going to be slow. BUT, a new surreal drawing is in the works! YEAH!
