summer was also about the quiet times, though with two little boys those were few and far between. here's Mr. B listening to the crickets commencing their nightly serenade...
trying to get back to the daily sketching.. and re-visiting using the ol' pen and ink.
And here are some progress shots of the Pixies "Dig For Fire" show piece i did...
First up, idea sketching. i also like to make lists of words to help myself think. oh, and the date and time on there are regarding the boys' yearly check-up and shots... let's just say that check-up ended up being an absolute nightmare and we'll leave it at that...
Coming up with the final sketch for "Gone to Heaven"
transfering the sketch onto the prepped wood..
paint! i think i have about umpteen billion pictures of my palette after i've laid out the paints.. it's pretty much one of my favorite things in life. pristine piles of paint...
getting into it...
closer...
and the palette not-so-pristine anymore..
and here's the finished piece... woohoo! it'll be framed up all pretty-like for the show...
and i just thought this was cool. Dyl made this at the LEGO store a few weeks ago. it's me!!
also, i don't know if this will ever even end up happening. but i have roller derby on the brain. i think i'm too old and too out of shape, but it's given me something to strive for and a reason to get up at 6 am and go get my jog on. plus, it's just pretty awesome to roll around the house at night after the boys are in bed and relive my all-skate days. happy end-of-summer to you all...
