bear

Given that it happened before my figure drawing class, I'm okay with the anatomy going on on the left page. Besides, I feel like the flower heads and the bear head kind of draw attention away from the problem spots...

Complexities Unfold

 

For some reason it's always yellow that ends up getting everywhere...

very very red

Apparently this was around January 23rd ish, as that middle bit says. And that writing bit on the second page is by a fellow named Luke I met an an open mic whatsit at a coffee place (I really am an insufferable hipster.)

don't forget (from sometime around February?)

 This is from my last Moleskin, and I believe I drew/wrote all this sometime in February.
Typed out, this is what got written...

To claim boredom in the face of all this is awful.
Tell me, when did you last look to the sky? Feel the stretch, the yawning arc of blue?
Take off your shoes. Curl your toes into the wet ground, feel the chill, remember how every second, every fucking second your synapses are firing, your brain is glittering like goddamn christmas. Remember how much it takes just to walk. Then try to claim boredom again.

taste the rain
bite down, feel the pain and almost iron
feel your heart beat rhythmic
now, very carefully, listen to what the trees have to say.

cherry pie and a slice of the sky

I think a lot of the left page was drawn/written when I had a fever...
Also, I think I may need to start incorporating highlighters and extremely bright colors into more things.

the rat king and some stuff

Everyone is fond of owls! And some people are fond of rat king, but not too many, he smells a little off.

sol novus

Yes, I am just going through my current sketchbook and uploading the past. It's kind of irritating, cos the earlier stuff has issues... actually, I'm sure it all has issues, but I will only realize them in retrospect. SUCH IS LIFE. (Why am I so tired, I slept for about twelve hours last night...)

she lied.

Disclaimer: I drew this before I took figure drawing class, so no judgey-judge on the anatomical fucked-uppery that is the page on the left, and sort of the face on the right.

crazy eyes

Page one! There might be a little Black Swan crazy in here, just maybe.
