ice cream on rollerskates

Ink and watercolour on paper, 5x7 inches. The original drawing is available.

Vacation time! I'll be taking a couple of weeks off, with very sporadic internet access, so I won't be responding to email or comments much. Speaking of comments, I'll be setting them to "moderated", so they won't be posted right away (this is to avoid having piles of spam on my blog while I'm away).

Also, any orders placed in the shop after today will be shipped on (or shortly after) July 27th.

I hope you are having a great summer! See you in a couple of weeks.

I need to make things with my hands every day

8x10 signed prints available for $20.

I wrote this in my sketchbook the other day, as a reminder/statement/mantra to myself. I used to spend all day in front of a computer, emailing, photoshopping, designing, layout-ing, etc. I enjoyed being a designer (and making things with pixels and code is great), but personally, I still needed to use my hands, even if it was just to make some marks on paper. That's why I started drawing on post-it notes. They were small and quick and raw and immediate and I could do them on my lunch break. I craved the spontaneity, the imperfections of ink bleeding on paper, of lines not matching up, of things being not quite centered. No grids. Unpolished. Hand made.

I need to always be making things. Are you a maker?
