I love finding Weird Little Drawings in unexpected places. I found this hippo on a fencepost in Big Sur, California. It reminds me of the Lascaux cave paintings. I'll be on the lookout for more WLDs in Princeton.

I discovered Asbury Park this Summer. I went to see the tattoo fest at the excellent convention hall. It had all the stone marine horses one could ask for. And the drawing! I will forever be impressed by tattoo artists. I wonder if tattooing has the same soft feel of drawing on a cocktail napkin with a ballpoint pen. I lunched on a lobster roll at a little cafe on the boardwalk.

This Summer I'm back on my quest for the perfect swimming spot. This was one of the finalists, even though it was a little shallow. I'm always tempted to just dive directly into the Delaware, but it seems a little treacherous. Maybe it's time to invest in an innertube.

I have tons of ideas lately. Like, five metric tons. Ideas don't weigh anything of course, until you put them on paper or canvas or whatever. I feel like I can't draw my ideas fast enough, which is wonderful and also frustrating. The hours in my little studio fly by! I think it's what some people call "flow." I had to move out of my Princeton studio for efficiency purposes ($) and I've made a space for myself in our upstairs sunroom. It's small, but it's turned out to be fantastic. I just have to make sure I don't get distracted by household stuff. Doing laundry is a lot easier than creating a picturebook, and so is mopping the floor.
I love Disney animation. Especially from the 1950s. I wanted to be a Disney animator when I was a kid: painting cels, pencilling the in-betweens, watching my characters come to life, etc. In college though, I found the process of animation to be more tedious than I thought it would be. Tedious may be putting it lightly. Infuriating? The end result was beautiful, but I gotta enjoy my process.
Lots of stories are coming up, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. And my Happy Thoughts in the front of my mind. And pixiedust.

I like the action in this one. There is a "double vision" effect because of the red and green parallel scribbles.
