I've been working a lot on new sketches for a collection I want to create. Lately I've also found myself going back to the basics and playing with drawing and lettering techniques so my sketchbooks are filling quickly. I've also been playing with sketching digitally but still love the analog pen and paper. I am the same way with my calendar, journaling, and even with books. I love paper.

Which do you prefer - digital or paper?

Backyard bike riding this weekend. My girls couldnt get enough of riding on what was apparently a small gokart track in our backyard. It was fun watching them ride while we relaxed.

How was your weekend?

Me and my sketchbook- or at least one of them. I think my husband is amazed at all the sketchbooks and notebooks I have laying around the house. I'm not precious with me sketchbooks and tend to journal in them and play with ideas as well as make lists, lots of lists. Playing and exploring for me is done mostly in my sketchbook.

If you swipe you can see the sketch better which is nothing more than that - me playing with the letter A in an art nouveau style and on the right is a working plan for a genotype print I'm going to attempt 😬.

I've taken the past couple of weeks to study the art nouveau movement and the lettering from it. I felt like I was giving myself a reeducation in art history but there are things I am drawn to from that movement. The flowing illustrations and letter forms contrasted with flat color or graphic pattern. I love the contrasts. I've been filling a sketchbook with ideas and things I like. Today I started digitizing those.

So yesterday I mentioned I sometimes stuff my face

So yesterday I mentioned I sometimes stuff my face with cake. For real it happens. Today was one of those days I felt like it but I didn't do it even though this cake was sitting in my kitchen. .
Worked on another screen with a longer exposure this time because my last try bombed for too short of an exposure. It looked so good yall! It was washing out like it should and I could see the print as I sprayed and then suddenly things went bad as all the emulsion washed out. .
So grateful for a father in law who does this for a living. I put a call in to him because it seemed the exposure was good but he said it can be sneaky and look good then bam! it suddenly washes out. So next week will be another try!
