Today in drawing class we did some gesture drawings. I was rather pleased with this extended gesture drawing (9 minutes).

Gradients and Spectrums
What if you got art supplies delivered to you each month? Would you be very excited? Would you tear open the package and open a fresh page? Would you mount them on a wall organized by gradient down to the 500th pencil?
YES YOU CAN!!
Would you eat lettuce and mild curry, dressed in a mermaid’s gown, [...]
Illustrations that Draw You In (& how to do it)
Get it? Draw you in? Oh I am hilarious.
The process of sketchbook to Bristol board to finished work in Skyler Luke Punnett’s work is awesome. He’s in my narrative drawing class and did a presentation of his work today. He showed us finished works, some sketches he’s working on, and explained the process. His style [...]
The Reason You are On The Net, Not Making Art
I just read Craig Thompson’s book, Blanket. I want to use all kinds of literary words, like beautiful and honest coming-of-age love story, but basically it’s a great book I fell in love with and now I wish my name was Raina. Cute.
And the after effects of that is that I want to draw. I [...]

How to Realize What You Want, which is an Art Show
I had just moved in, meeting my neighbour (@garfieldherriot)- and I am explaining what it is that I do.
“I’m an art student at Emily Carr University.” Quite the elevator pitch, no?
This is usually enough- “Oh cool! You do art!” or “I hear that’s a really hard school to get into.” Of the latter, I have [...]
It’s a Nice Day for a Sapphic Wedding
I am so pleased! My good friend is getting married!
She asked me to make some posts to mark the cardinal directions. They’re driftwood with tea-dyed yarn tying shells, holly, acorns, feathers, to the twisted branches, and between every two posts swags a few yards of bright sari fabric in marigold, jungle green, and bright plum. [...]
How to Write A Press Release
So I made my press release a few days ago and now it’s time to show it to you!
First I made a list of words relating to the subject, keywords, if you want to get all technical. “Underwater, photography, lessons, techniques, photos, photographer…” etc.
Next comes the title: a little catchy, a little cheesy, but most [...]
Ian Rankin & Kelowna
I’m visiting family in Kelowna – well, technically, about 1/2 hour out, and the internet connection is slow dial-up like 1995. So this post is short and sweet.
I’m reading Ian Rankin’s Doors Open- a “rollicking” art-heist novel- and I’m not going to lie, I would be honored to be the artist whose work was at [...]
The Drawing Tool You Don't Know You're Missing
Welcome back, I always enjoy your presence here. There’s lots of stuff on the internet, so I’m pleased to see you back! I appreciate you
If you’ve ever used a Conté crayon, a graphite stick, or a pencil, you know the trade-off:
It’s a choice between the slow-going gradient of drawing pencils, or the dusty [...]
