Change
Illustration Friday, Sketchbook9 CommentsIllustration Friday Theme = Change
I recently celebrated my 16 year anniversary of moving to Chicago, quite a long time for someone who had only planned to stay a year or two. I commemorated by drawing all the places I have lived in my sketchbook...and tomorrow the change continues as we close on a new house in a new neighborhood. I never thought we'd leave this one but I guess it's true that the only thing that you can count on is change... so I will cherish the memories and wonderful things that have happened here and look forward to wonderful new adventures on Washtenaw.
Safe

Earlier this summer we discovered a bird in our house, it was so frightened. I had to catch it (with very little help from Rich!) and release it back to the safety of the outdoors. This is a digitally colored drawing from my sketchbook.
Insect

This is a sharpie drawing from my sketchbook - I scanned and digitally edited and colored it. I like fun and friendly insects - do you know any? I created a few new ones.

Tea for two and two for tea,
Tea for you and tea for me....
Song

This is my sketchbook entry from September 12, 2003, the day Johnny Cash died. My Dad always used to sing and play his songs on the guitar, I remember the night my parents went to see his concert at the Mary E Sawyer Auditorium in LaCrosse, WI, I was too young to go...wish I had gone as an adult as I also love the songs he recorded in his later years.
Simple...

If someone else were pulling the strings
it would be a Simple life...but boring and uninspired.
