Scribbles...

just playing around with fine lines. these are the few stragglers that i haven't posted from my last journal. mostly just test pages. doodles...probably one of my favourite pass times. i love doodles, lots of my ideas spring from this habit. it's snowing outside right now. i thought for a second we might have escaped winter...

I am clearly ready for spring. I can't wait to bike again. I am not brave enough to bike in the winter. I tried, but after sliding through a stop sign last year, i decided it wasn't for me. This is another random pen sketch. Working on ideas for patterns...my fav.

Eggs.

Egg time is coming soon!

And so another journal ends...

This is the last page.

i really wish i was somewhere close to that tree right now.

sometimes i wish that i could dress up like a rock and sit by the ocean with a whole bunch of other rocks. in the scenario above, i also hope that i will be some kind polka-dotted rock.

i got a valentine in the mail.

oh tangles, comb your hair already.

i will make some swatches of my fabric ideas this year. i will! and then maybe i may even make a dress from them.

time for a new journal...

Line Work.

i found my technical pens from school...mix that with hours of olympics and this is what you get.

fat helen.

fancy pants, an ode to all the crazy olympic wear this year.

In hiding...again.

Sunday nothings.

which ones are yours?

big moment.

from concept to completion.

there are holes in the wall.

a bear parade...i like.

sleepy sleepy.

dusty things.

bedroom storm.

a good good day.

true enemies.

true love.

Valentines!

click image, print, fold, glue or tape...and voila!

Tuesday night at the Workroom.

Nothing turns a tough day into something better like a little journalling.

meet the gentlemen...they bring you flowers.

anyone who might follow this blog must know by now i am a little obsessed with these things.

sneaky elephants!

next time i draw elephants i want to have them in tennis shoes.

this page was ruining me tonight. i couldn't get it right, but finally success!

follow my love north...towards a polar bear?

summer now...actually i would gladly settle for some frozen ponds and naked trees.

i have dreams.

walking...walking...walking.

It's definitely february.

Sad Guy, with a case of the blah blah blahs.

I have been playing around in illustrator with the symbol tool.

It is very addictive.

birds.

i have been busy working on a banner for a friends company which has led me to having to try my hand at illustrating some birds. here is a smattering of tests i did for the banner. they ranged from silly to more serious.

Some tuesday night journalling...

I have love.

I want love.

This is the season of socks. So many socks.
