bugs, ladies, you get the idea.

i've become addicted to the white conte crayon, and suddenly the drawings no longer look finished without it. it's like how i used to just use micron pen and then i started adding more graphite shading. SLIPPERY SLOPE.

i think i meant to post this lady, but then i forgot- but i really like how this one turned out. i know i did another lady with her eyes closed like this one, but this drawing is better, i think. i just like it more.

i did myself the small favor of removing my fluffy bathrobe for the photo. it looks stupid but WHATEVER IT'S COLD IN HERE. endless cups of chamomile at my fingertips while i doodle.

GOOD NIGHT!

  1. Been reading your food blog for a few weeks(really dig it, thanks!) ans since I always do as I'm told, I came over to check out your drawings. Wondering if you'd be open to a comissioned drawing that would eventually end up as a tattoo on my person. I can give you the idea/theme/sordid tale that goes along with the idea at a later date if you're interested.

    Let me know, I think your style is great and your stuff looks great in black and white. I'm comfortfood1@yahoo.com...name's Kim.

  4. Ok, totally mortified that my idea was sooo unoriginal that you'd already adressed it in your FAQ's...sorry to be one of those annoying people.

    I'll keep reading, but keep my stupid ideas to myself from now on..thanks for the response, though!

  6. Got your drawing yesterday, after a particularly crappy day. It was awesome. I love it. Love it. Love it. I sent you a request to draw whatever you want, and it is perfect. The women in the middle of the wreath makes me feel beautiful and strong and powerful, all by myself. Can't wait to hang it. Thank you!

  7. I too am obsessed with a white conte crayon. I like your blogs... I am an artist and foodie too... funny how those two go together so well. Just thought I'd let you know I enjoy your blogs :-)
