I was looking for something else today but noticed that the price for Journals on Amazon.ca was really good on Strathmore Watercolor journal. So, I did a little looking around and there were a few more great deals. Here they are for all of my fellow Canadians! I know it can be painful to be…
Moleskine
New Moleskine Minus One Monkey Equals ART
Christmas Present – New palette w/DS paint I haven’t been painting much, which disappoints me. Don’t get me wrong, I give myself permission to take breaks when I’m feeling uninspired and I even allow for those times when I’m feeling scared and don’t know what to paint. I have to admit though, I hate having…
Oh To Be In Paris In The Springtime…
I have to admit I have two places I want to go. Really, only two places in the world that I dream about visiting. One is Hawaii. I’ve already done a couple of drawings about that. You can see the posts here and here. The other place I’ve always wanted to see is Paris. I…
There’s A Penguin In My Moleskine
My Moleskine is gonna fill up fast! I find myself thinking about art hourly. What am I going to draw up? What would look great and be fast? What should I take my time with? I even woke up this morning with a laundry list of things I wanted to add to my sketchbook. I’m…
GOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First page in my Cahier(Click to Enlarge) More like SEVEN goals, actually. But more about that later. So I’m documenting my life for Danny Gregory’s class. In the beginning it’s weird to put such mundane things into a sketchbook. But then I realize that first: that’s the point, to document your life, and second: I’m…

The white ones are excellent hiders while the orange/white ones, not so much. I am enamored with all four fishies but…
AEDM – Day Thirteen & FFAF Challenge
I have another piece that I did in my moleskine for Art Every Day Month (day 13) and I decided to also enter Artists In Blogland’s Fall Fearless & Fly Challenge #4. The theme for AIB is actually a three prong choice, you can do one, two or all three parts of the challenge. Here’s…
AEDM – Day Ten & Eleven
No, I didn’t post yesterday but YES, I did work on art. :o) I’m thinking this means that I didn’t actually miss a day, I just didn’t tell you guys about it. Hehehe. It’s been a very hectic week, with writing several articles for FEATURING (Issue three is scheduled to go to the printers in…
AEDM – Day Six
Hurry, hurry, I’m late for a very important date!! I’ve been rushing around like a chicken with it’s head cut off, trying to get art done for both today and tomorrow so I can actually be kind of ahead. I’ve realized that if I add my link to the Linky on AEDM late in the…
AEDM – Day Three
So I have a Strathmore Visual Journal that I’d purchased a while ago so I could play in it. I’m already in love with it’s multi-media paper, it has a smooth Vellum finish and it’s easy to both draw and erase on. Many of the papers I work with seem to leave a shadow of…
