This seems appropriate for Mother's Day. :)
What’s in my bag
OK, so I totally flaked out on the 28 to Make project. Now it's been 3 months. So much for creating a habit. I miss sketching and painting. I've made a mess of the kitchen table lately. Thinking if I keep all the art supplies out and just shove them over when the family needs to eat, I will paint more. Maybe. I have a whole studio I could be using. I should make a mess out there.
28 to Make / Day 3 » Draw your favorite album art
Picked this for the sweet memories. Memories of playing this CD in Hannah Mae's Hello Kitty boom box outside her door at bedtime. Just a baby. Lullabies to sleep. Tonight, open house for middle school. A ten year old now. I still love these songs.

28 to Make / Day 2 » Draw a houseplant
Or a plant at Dubsea if you don't have any houseplants.
28 to Make / Day 1 » Draw your beverage
Discovered 28 to Make from Creative Live. Hopefully I can keep this up for 28 days. Been out of the habit. You can also follow me here.
Education in South Sudan
I keep coming back to the stories and photos found in this piece, South Sudan's Tattered Dreams. {Photo reference—Jon Warren, World Vision}
Refugee camp :: Dahuk, Iraq
No way to put into words what I feel when looking at photos from refugee camps. Children's names. Their stories. Their memories. Fears. Hopes.
Here's just a quick sketch I did using a photo as reference. Syrian refugees living in Dahuk, Iraq.
Birthday {with Mickey Mouse}
Quick assignment today:
Custom birthday card for a friend to give to his wife. Must have today — illustrate, design, print. Reference — Instagram photo of wife and daughter (sweet). Insert Mickey Mouse ears hats — taking a trip to Disleyland for birthday. Pen and watercolors — a welcome break from the computer. Lime green and blue — a welcome break from WV orange. :)
Ba Bar sketching
I have been carrying around a tiny sketchbook dedicated to quick sketches from coffee shops and restaurants. Black pen only. Must start and finish on location. Couldn't help adding the bar background in this one. Love the colors. This one is from last night at Ba Bar on Capitol Hill.
