I was tagged by Mary at Artsy Musings and so to get back into the swing of things around here I thought I’d share six random things about myself: I hate to exercise, but I’ve found that I like using a hula-hoop. I’m just so pleased that I can keep the thing going. We gotContinue reading “Tagged! Six Random Things”

ATC: John Waters
I just did an atc trade with a lovely gentleman that I know as “Coop” on my atcsforall.com trading site. We agreed to do a trade and asked me to draw the cult film director John Waters. I had a hazy memory of a guy with a big forehead and a cheesy little moustache. ItContinue reading “ATC: John Waters”
More ATCs: Portrait Cards
I’ve been doing my two favorite things: making cards and drawing portraits. I’ve been finishing up some obligations and making a few cards for gifts. I really like the expressions that emerged on these. One of the things I love the most about card trading is how excited and please people seem to be whenContinue reading “More ATCs: Portrait Cards”
Atcs: After Durer…
In my greed to gain a nice stack of artist trading cards I joined too many swaps. I’ve been doing nothing but making cards for many weeks. I counted my cards the other day and found that I had 101.

That sounded great for me and I agreed to do this portrait card forContinue reading “Making Cards and Making Friends”

I had a lot of fun doing a swap with Ujwala so I jumped at the chance to do another swap. You can read about our swap onContinue reading “Portrait Swap with Cindy Gray”
ATCs on Request: Black Panther
I’ve been feeling rather stunned for the past few days. I’ll blame it on all the financial turbulence. I’m having trouble writing, but since this is a drawing blog, why don’t I just post a drawing? I’ve not been drawing much this week, so I’ll just post one of the cards I made not longContinue reading “ATCs on Request: Black Panther”
ATCs: Attempts at Whimsy
(Click on the thumbnails for larger picture) I thought I would try to stretch myself and try my hand at something a little more inventive. I signed up for a swap called Colorful Funky Whimsy People over at atcsforall.com. I really had a hard time with it. I sat down and realized how rusty myContinue reading “ATCs: Attempts at Whimsy”
