Backgrounds
Got over 150 little sheets of background for the sumo linocuts done today.
As always there are some really cool ones. Though
interestingly enough the backgrounds that are fascinating in themselves rarely make a good background for the print, usually.

junk journal review
today some of my art friends in the scavenger hunt thread on wet canvas asked about what paper my sketch was and I was set to bore them with me love of the junk journal. So I thought I would enlarge upon that point of pleasure here.
this is my first junk journal and I am really adore it because it doesn't make me feel committed in any manner.....just doodle, , paint, drool or mess.......
Can you find the just-a-cut -and- paste- kinda -day.....
there are some really cool graphics and writtings on the old 1950's hard bound city directories and old school dictionaries. Makes going to the thrift store a brand new adventure.
There are oddles of bookbinding tutorials on the internt too.
You may see I got crazy with the bounding threads on the binding edge. And orange duct tape with old calandar photos really are another fun addition.
Then, I came home from shopping one day and just couldn't put that nice brown paper bag away....so I started making pockets in all my art journals......but I'll save those for another blog page......heheheh
Here is a poem- I AM- that really brings out a view point we don't consider......I hope you enjoy it. It did inspire me with a look into the soul of community.

How Do You Do? - illustrated poem
How Do You Do?
greeting cards and grinding wheels
the words of
days
gone by
are
picturesque
clouds.
Gilders & Glass Dealers
stand at counters
long gone
smudged aprons
hard soled shoes.
The herds on the plains
are still the same,
though sparse.
The rain on the roof
is still the same,
same, same, same, same
as
what,
why
is still the same.

Drawing Prompts-Mountain of cupcakes
I am moving some of the handy art tools out of the closet and on to the coffeetable. I found this Doodle While You Work by Staffan Gnosspelius
book….got it at the dollar store about 6years ago. I drew in it while the gentleman I sat with snoozed .

And I have another really nice one of these drawing prompt books I got from my son for Christmas a few years back. I am always intimidated by drawing from memory but as I don’t try to stress and just mess around with what I think it would look like I have fun and discover that imprecise drawings can be very expressive and interesting ; And of course empowering to go on and continiuing drawing and learning how to see things…..
So here first is the page I did today….
the prompt was “complete the cupcake mountain devoured by you and your colleagues each week…and yes, I did not completely conform to the request because as I began to draw this scene came into my brain and I let it out……
