Drawing from today. Kinda how I feel. Click on it for a pretty pop-up view.

Graphite on Paper
This is a great Artist’s memoir, with nice art, and text that ties in history with biography and travel. It’s a fast read also.

Doing the 30 Days of Drawing Challenge I have a 6×10 inch spiral bound for this. I plan on using a Prismacolor marker for each drawing, and not taking more than 15 minutes, including any color (which may be needed some days.)
Here’s day 1: Yourself or your persona.
I always loved space, and Science Fiction. I’ve dreamed of going into space, or to different a different planet to live since I was a kid. I got my first science fiction book (that I remember) in 1967 or 1968: The Beyond by Jean and Jeff Sutton, and have been reading SF and advocating space exploration ever since. At 54 I’ve pretty much given up on that dream, for myself, but hope that humanity does make it. It’s our only chance to survive, really. This year, for my yearly self portrait I painted myself as an astronaut, to commemorate that dream. There it is: Acrylic on Canvas; 14×11 inches.
