Erin

7″X5.5″ Pencil in MoleskineThis is our fearless leader. Erin did all the hard work of organizing this weekend’s show. I think it should be counted a success, even though it wasn’t really for me. It was the first show for this particular group and it al… [...]

Artisan Market

8″X5″ Pen on paperDay 2 at the artisan market was no better than day 1 for me. It was a learning experience and if I ever do anything like that again I will be sure to take some more inexpensive items, get some greeting cards printed perhaps. There was… [...]

Wine & Cheese

All 3.5″X5.5″ Pencil in MoleskineI haven’t posted for a couple of days but I do have a good excuse. On Monday night we hosted a house concert with brilliant guitarist Laura Young who was visiting from Barcelona where she lives. I managed to sketch a fe… [...]
