The kids are going back to school tomorrow and there is much excitement. From me, mostly. Between the holidays and the illnesses, I haven't been down in the studio for nearly a month. A month. My skin feels like it's crawling off.
SPEAKING OF - one of my Christmas presents arrived late, and it is wonderful. And also terrible. And smelly. I am suspicious that they used some kind of toxic gas to murder these things, and that the gas leaked out into the packaging. Here's hoping they're all actually dead. I am going to paint some beautiful, awful pictures.
While I was not painting, I drew a little portrait study.
Having a child with a unibrow, wide-set eyes, and tiny mouth was the best thing to ever happen to my drawing style. Love her.
My "draw me a tattoo" queue is kind of backed up, so I drew a mermaid
instead of anything anyone actually asked for.
Call it a warm-up for the
full sleeve Sarah is going to wind up with after I get all the cosmic elements
into her tattoo of Saraswati. Hindu goddess, knitting, in Swedish folk art style - with alien abduction!
I will include a letter of apology with the final design.
