no nap - no art

Sorry kids, no art today. Emmett chose not to sleep or eat most of the day.

His way of celebrating being 15 months old today!



I guess that's the way it goes. Art takes the day off once in a while.

Recently

As you may have noticed I've been doing some collage and drawing on a daily basis. I didn't really have a plan, I just wanted to start doing something. I didn't want to say it was going to be a "daily" thing because, well, even though it has been it might not be and then I'd feel like I failed and that's just not how I want to feel.

I wanted to explain a little about these, in case you're wondering and also when I look back on this blog in 50 years I'll know what the hell I was thinking.

I decided that I would take one nap-time per day and do a collage or a drawing (instead of napping myself and thus why I'm drinking coffee again). Each of these was created during one of Emmett's naps which is usually about 1 and half hours sometimes longer.

What I'm really trying to do is exercise my imagination and hopefully develop my personal style. I'm hoping that in a year or so (no, I don't expect to post something new everyday for a year that would be crazy! I mean crazy!) But I do hope to continue at this pace for a while.

Some of the collages that I do are inspired by other artists and some are just pieces of paper glued to a larger piece of paper in a very random way.

Thanks, everyone, for visiting!

What? Is there something on my face?

FYI

My phone died. Apparently you're not supposed to go swimming with your phone, even if it begs you to. New phone coming soon - I hope.
