I have been feeling all out of sorts since the reception of the exhibit. I also realize that this is not new. I feel this way a lot after my own reception. To top it all off, I got ill with laryngitis and lost my voice a few hours after…
Another dance class, another Bart passenger. I am trying to get off from these drawings but it’s so easy to do and when you commit to doing something every day it becomes a sort of a routine. I’ve been hoping to draw things that help me process my divorce, but…
This is my beehive. It is sitting in my bedroom. I need to paint it before I can take it out. Once it has bees, like MC Hammer, I can’t touch this. That was random. And so is this drawing.
My regular Tuesday meetups with some arty friends. This is Kate. I’ve drawn her before and I never get her right, but oh well. I never get anyone right actually. Sometimes they all come out Asian. At least this time, she doesn’t. Yay!
This is the day I install my dioramas at the Lindsay Dirkx Brown Gallery in San Ramon, CA. I’ve been thinking of a few ways to display them and I’ll have another chance to display some more work later this month, but that gallery isn’t so accessible, whereas the one in…

The new flash mob routine is Justin Timberlake and I’m screaming like a 15 year old, not really, but I am pretending I’m still 15 while I’m dancing. It is such a fun routine and I needed a break from all that booty shaking in all the dance routines I’d…
I’ve been in an artist support group for almost a year now, which has enabled me to find the courage to make this blog. The leader of the group is Jessica Serran. Her group consists of artists all over the world, and we’ve been communicating with each other mostly on facebook.…
