My hijacked cells

My virus is raging still, but I think I’m going to go to work tomorrow, because it’s raging less and I don’t want to have to apply for sick leave. I’ll beg a mask from the lab or something.
When I’m sick, I like thinking about what’s going on in my body. It’s basically [...]

The interwebs have created a tenuous link between myself and CERN

I noticed that one of the sketches I posted to flickr (again, part of the sketch-a-day project) had recently gained a lot of view hits. The hits all seemed to fall on August 7th and 8th, which coincided with the announcement that CERN was going to begin testing of the Large Hadron Collider the [...]

Unmanned cupcake adrift in the saltwater seas

I sketched this last night before bed and I really like it. (It’s part of my drawing-a-day stay-in-the-groove project.) Please ignore the strange tonal artifacts created by my rickety, dying scanner.

birth anniversaries

Yesterday was my one-year BLOG-O-VERSARY! I can’t believe I’ve been writing here for a year. For this occasion, let me introduce the following sketch I drew a little over a year ago:

Yeah, I really don’t know, either, but it was the only almost-appropriate birthday-related image I could find for this post. I [...]

A weird day

This is a strange day.
I woke up early(ish) and decided to go eat a real breakfast at a local cafe, since I am incapable of making one for myself. (Conclusion drawn from extensive past data.) I had a small pile of home fries, two eggs over-medium, an english muffin, a small glass of [...]

Heat

We had a wonderful two-day heat wave in Seattle… I want more!
It’s been hard keeping cool; Richard and I are still figuring out the logistics of air flow and maximizing cooling in this little house.  I’m not sure we were that successful.
I drew this as I was laying in bed with the fan blowing in [...]

I’m still moping

It’s raining in Seattle and I’m cold and grumpy. Can you tell? This is a self portrait I drew a couple days ago when I was in a foul mood, for a Moleskine exchange project I’m participating in:

I haven’t drawn a self portrait in about 8 years– wait, that’s a lie– there must’ve [...]

getting organized

I’ve been feeling terribly confused about my artistic future this past year. I could go on about that for pages, but will save it for another time.
I recently found an old, tiny sketchbook, and inside were a few sketches that I made around September 2005. This was about three months after I graduated [...]

a beginning

I decided a long time ago that I needed a way to talk about my art and photography, and a better way to organize the images. I’m still working on the organization thing, but I’m going to start now with the talking. If you want to take see my original attempt at a [...]
