Some of the books that have been piling up on my bookshelf. Must read soon. I’m halfway done with The Easter Parade. I love it.

The 30 Day Drawing Challenge is officially over! It was definitely more difficult than I thought it would be. Life, obviously, gets in the way of drawing/scanning/blogging but I gained so much from the challenge. I learned that you all are seriously talented (even if you don’t consider yourself an artist

It’s Desh’s 2nd birthday today! We celebrated by buying him a new frisbee, a raw hide bone and turning on our air conditioning. A long walk is yet to come! I think he’s gotten cuter with age but I’m biased.

Attention blog readers: I totally dropped the ball with this 30 Day Drawing Challenge. I haven’t posted May 26, 27, OR 28th. I’ll be posting a compilation post tomorrow (er…today?) at 3pm EST with drawings from the past few days. SO, if you have any drawings or want to “catch up,”

Today’s challenge (although a bit late) was to draw scenery! This is what I mostly see all day… Steven drew his view out of the airplane! How nice. Randi drew something nice and natural! Tomorrow’s challenge is to draw something you DON’T like. If you want yours included, email me at hi@

Oops. I failed the challenge. Here are the last drawings all combined into one. I was out of town visiting family and friends (and having a wonderful time). So while it’s an excuse, that is life. Tomorrow’s challenge is to draw a couple. Whatever that means? If you want your drawing included, email

With so much rain lately, the sun always seems frighteningly bright. April May Showers Bring May June Flowers? I wish it looked this epic when it rained. All those black umbrellas make you wonder who’s underneath. Photo found here.

Today’s challenge was to draw something you want! I wasn’t able to get my drawing in (I’m blogging from Illinois/my brother’s high school graduation party). BUT Benji and Carley drew! Benji drew that he wants TODAY! Carley said after being diagnosed with a fish allergy…all she want

10 more days! I can’t believe it’s already the 20th. Today’s challenge was to draw something orange. For me, I think a drawing or design can be very powerful when you evoke the visualization of color (even if it’s black and white). I drew an orange construction/traffic cone. They’r

Quick birthday recap: sushi, fondue, sweet potato fries, vinyl, puppy, off work, hot dogs, lace, great weather, shopping, friends. Basically, amazing. So far I love being 24. Now I get to feel even older this weekend watch my little brother graduate from high school AND see my best friend’s baby. Time fli

Something new! I drew my NEW love of Yoga. I’ve done yoga before and thought it to be too fluffy and easy but now that I’m doing P90X, I find it really challenging and I love it! Benji drew a new hoodie. Tomorrow’s challenge is to draw something orange! If you want yours included in […]

Icarus & Occident is my new favorite blog. It’s a daily juxtaposition of photography and music. But in a way, it’s deeper than that for me. While reading, I’m sucked into the music, the lyrics and the visual. I really love this excerpt from their About page: “This will all fade. And

DOODLE! That was today’s challenge. Sometimes I think my brain thinks in doodles. Benji‘s doodle. He said, “Video killed the radio star.” And a new contributor, Crystal! Tomorrow’s challenge is to draw something new (whatever that means to you). If you want your drawing to be inclu

Today’s challenge was to draw your favorite plant! Mine is a weeping willow. Obviously the leaves fall vertically but for this blog, it looked better horizontal. Steven glanced at the list and thought today’s challenge was to draw your favorite planEt. However, he ended up subconsciously writing &#8

Today’s challenge was to draw your inspiration. Mine is a bit abstract and encompasses a lot. What inspires me? Life, the sun, organic relationships, nature, others that are real and not fake. The list could go on but I thought it was best displayed this way. Steven drew old Nicktoons! Benji drew Michael

We’re at the halfway point! Today’s challenge was to draw your family (which is perfect because we’re visiting Adam’s family this weekend). As I’m blogging from Indiana, I’m surrounded by those that we love and that love us back. All I had was some computer paper and a red Cr

Favorite fairy tale time!! Mine is Cinderella. Steven‘s favorite is The Ugly Duckling. Benji drew The Three Little Pigs. And finally Carley‘s drawing: Beauty and the Beast! Tomorrow’s challenge is to draw a family picture. If you want yours included in my post, email me by tomorrow morning at

Today’s been one of those days where I keep forgetting EVERYTHING. So here is Benji’s comic. Isn’t he really good at drawing? I’ve seriously been so impressed with his submissions. I’ll post tomorrow’s on time. Promise. The challenge is: draw your favorite fairytale!

May 12, 2011

My most recent accomplishment? I learned how to say, “No.” Not only does it help keep control in my life but it allows me to be available for things that I really want to do. Benji’s recent accomplishment: getting his new job! He said, “My new job isn’t evil. The dragon is to show

What was a turning point in your life? That was the challenge today! For the four of us, it was moving to a new city. I didn’t get a chance to draw mine on time. Lots of freelance work this week. (But I swear it’s drawn in my sketchbook!) The turning point in my life […]

What have I been up to? I’ve been working a lot, I’m doing P90X (although I missed a few days during my mini birthday vacation from life), enjoyed a family visit, I’ve been appreciating the great food here in Columbus (seriously…we have really great restaurants), and of course I’ve
