Whenever I hang out with my friend Basho P. Luddite I get inspired. Strange creatures tend to wander through my pages. This one showed up at our last meeting:

The Slug King
For Husband’s choice this week, a revisit to the Slug King. Since my last post I received a very honest critique. Thank you. Upon the review I have been playing with my drawing pushing my comfort zone. Two days are all that has passed, but I have been spending time experimenting. I know the onlyContinue reading “The Slug King”
Reworking Husband’s Choice
Since the start of the So You Think You Can Dance season I have been asking my husband for an idea to draw every Thursday to be posted to my blog on Friday. He has taken this much more seriously than I imagined and given me some really creative thoughts! Each concept has also takenContinue reading “Reworking Husband’s Choice”
It’s Actually Wednesday!
Since I have lost all touch with the days of this week I am doing a second post for Animal Wednesday. My husband, Matt and I recently started checking audio books out from the library. When we were riding the bus into work I read a lot of books and he played a lot ofContinue reading “It’s Actually Wednesday!”
The Myth of J.S.
I am going to do this week’s husband’s choice in two parts or three or four. The title is so complex I needed time to decide what the story would be. Yes the character has a full name, initials J.S., but we are terrible and didn’t write them down at the beginning. So, we areContinue reading “The Myth of J.S.”
Maine Trip
This past week I went to Bar Harbor (pronounced Ba-Ha-Bah), ME with my Mom, Step-Dad-Mark, husband-Matt, and son-Lucien. We arrived to town five minutes before closing time, but were still welcomed into a restaurant for dinner. That was how all our other experiences with locals continued. It was great to be around such friendly-laid-back people.Continue reading “Maine Trip”
Animal Wednesdays
Trying to keep myself posting on a regular basis I am beginning another weekly post. Animal Wednesdays. The animals will either be made up, mixed with animals they don’t usually hang with, or just an animal doing what it does. This is a guy I started last week while Matt and I were out. LastContinue reading “Animal Wednesdays”
Sunshine at Midnight
This is a pretty rough sketch, but the concept is there. Had fun with this. Spent some time thinking of numerous ways there could be sunshine at midnight. Given that it got my creative juices going, I have been warned this challenge will get mixed in another time.I also may take the sketch to aContinue reading “Sunshine at Midnight”
A Slug King’s Castle
Here is last weeks choice that came in at the last minute. I have always adored creepy houses. Not fairy tale houses with frilly pinks and shiny windows. The dark, tall, daunting kingdoms of doom where the bad guys live. I realize that no matter how much I like that, when I draw them, itContinue reading “A Slug King’s Castle”
Husband’s Choice
Summer has begun! Last night was the season premiere of So You Think You Can Dance, the show that my husband and I actually take time out for to watch together every summer. I intend to take advantage of this time together and start a new piece a week called Husband’s Choice. As per theContinue reading “Husband’s Choice”

Dr. Sketchy’s
Yesterday’s Dr. Sketchy’s was a great figure drawing session, I definitely hope to go every month. I enjoyed using paint to sketch the figure, it was very interesting how it affected my pencil sketching. These images are in the progression of how I started to my last sketch. I played with proportions some.
