instead of driving lauren to piano

i just realized that pretty much every time i write on this thing i'm supposed to have driven my sister to her lesson, like every wednesday. i think i may take a bike ride in a little bit after i'm through with the computer. i think i am finally becoming able to make a picture. mostly, i start pictures and get through with them and then leave them unfinished for the rest of always. but i am actually starting a series, which is something i've been struggling to do for a while now.

anyway last night i did a lot of surfing on other artists' web sites and there are a lot of great images to look at out there. here are some of my personal favorite finds from then:

jean james (1) j. david mckenney (2) sarah caterisano (3)

i helped lo.ue paint obama's head. (!)

i've also discovered my bike again. and colored pencils!
