Outside courtyard and bathroom lighting. Graphite

30 Days of Making: Day 15

So the below pattern (which I tried really hard to get an accurate photo of but not sure I succeeded... I may repost a better one tomorrow in the daylight) is inspired by my afternoon in Malibu. I was looking at the water and how the little lines of breaking waves recede and how there are little shimmers of orange everywhere from the sun... So I made an abstract pattern out of it.

Yeah. I went there.

I just wish I knew how to print on fabrics because I want to put these shimmery little colors all over my body or the wall or the window or my couch so I can always pretend I am in Malibu with the taste of salty air on my tongue and the cool breeze soothing the hot mess the weather inland has made of me and crisp water and rich surfer dudes everywhere

Yeah I have to stop that's gonna become a run-on at some point.

Ah, Malibu.

30 Days of Making: Day 14

Mmmm graphite.

30 Days of Making: Days 5-13

So I am bad at posting.

But I swear I have been working.

Like I said: napkin sketches, doodles, scribbles, but something is something.

So here's a few somethings.

30 Days of Making: Day 4

Sharpie, graphite, Copic markers.

Not a great photo, I'll try to scope out better lighting tomorrow.

30 Days of Making: Day 3

It was so hard to resist using orange construction paper.

Graphite and prismacolor colored pencils and pink construction paper.
Very sketchy. Tired from a day in Santa Barbara

30 Days of Making: Day 2

Sketch. Acrylic paints, graphite, and oil pastel. Sometimes pencil is nice because it makes the thought "yeah that's definitely not supposed to go there" feel a little less daunting.
