another show for elie

The hardest thing about New Year Resolutions is keeping them. I read somewhere that the average lifespan for such a resolution is six days. Bummer.

Anywho, I did another show card for my friend Elie. She's much nicer in person than she looks here. This image only resembles her, really. Elie disliked this image so much, in fact, that she only used the text for her cards.. ouch!

Oh well. I'll keep drawing, if no one likes them. *sniffle*

I wonder if I can have 365 drawings done by the end of the year. Is there any way I can "make up" my late drawings? I guess it's up to me.

everyone's got a story

Years ago, in another life, I was a Graphic Design major. At that time I acquired some graphic design magazines for reference and inspiration. After a couple of years, I changed my major and then dropped out, moved to Portland, etc. I have held onto these magazines for almost ten years, after moving six or seven times, traveling across the country despite their physical weight and increasing demands from the wife that they disappear (apparently, in a 760 sq.ft. house a handful of magazines take up a lot of space ;).

Well, the reason I've held onto them is that I wanted to draw some of the images therein. (admittedly, I did go through a brief collage phase, and I had thought these would be nice for that, too, but no!) I am starting a small series of drawing montages using these ancient images.

Here's the first.
