Makin' Arts and Farts

Listen to Mustn'ts, child, listen to the Don'ts. Listen to the Shouldn'ts, the Impossibles, the Won'ts. Listen to the Never Haves, then listen close to me. Anything can happen, child, Anything can be. - Shel Silverstein

Today, I challenged myself to try a new medium. I used colored pencils to make a blue jay on a branch...the branch did come out kind of like a pile of poo. 😂 Whoops.

I am happy with how the blue jay turned out. Going outside of my comfort zone felt good.

The colored pencils were very humbling. I look forward to using them again. This week, I plan on drawing a few more birds. As I'd like to practice and challenge myself more.

Thanks for reading this! ❤️

Sometimes sketchbooks can be intimidating. Sometimes I just don't know what to draw or just need to warm up. I have fallen in love with doodling on index cards. It's a low stake way of doodling without the pressure to make something good.

Making dumb unimportant doodles feels good. So I started gluing them in a spiral notebook.

Be kind and make bad art. ❤️

I took an ad out in my local paper looking to employ a porter for my door. A few applicants applied but none seem fit to guard my door. Until one morning a gargoyle came to my door. He'd told me that a gargoyle is the perfect fit to guard my topsoil. He asked for $60 and a few head pats. I paid him $60 and gave a firm pat on the head. He sat on my step and said, "When do I get fed?"
