More San Francisco Musings...

I picked up another great book while we were in SF.... All Over Coffee by Paul Madonna. This guy is an incredibly interesting artist (I am a sucker for really well done pen and ink stuff!) and he's created all these great images of San Francisco architecture and he writes these fantastic little poetic verses to accompany them. It's mostly done in a comic strip format and it's just been such a great way to sort of re-visit the past week and unwind at the same time. Anyway, you should definitely check it out! Here's a nice image from his book to show you what I'm talking about:


Beautiful!! And a good way to get me started doing some more landscape sketching or painting.... hmmmmm..... :)

San Francisco Scrapbook, Part I

To kick things off, here are a few of the many striking images that our week in San Francisco afforded us the opportunity to create. I'd never seen the inside of a skate egg, and never expected to see a live baby skate in development in this really artistic display, which reminded me of something out of a Joseph Cornell box. Haunting and lovely. The water is near Sausalito, where we visited a friend over Thanksgiving.

Welcome!

Here's our lovely outpost on the internets to provide encouragement and generally banal entertainments for one another in an attempt to goad one another into eking out more art. LET IT BEGIN!!!!
