Feast of Fools

unfinished but fun :)

Here are two drawings I worked on while on my little holiday at Motion Notion music festival, just outside of Drayton Valley here in gorgeous Alberta. I had the time of my life :) Being able to dress up and dance all night is a mind-expanding experience. Seeing community form in a matter of hours and sustaining a group of like-minded individuals is healing. Being complimented on my artwork and costumes didn't hurt either!

I recommend that we all dress up and put on costumes from time to time. You can only really find yourself by being someone else now and then. It's refreshing :)

Graphite-ophile

I've been trying my hand at painting lately (that's why the radio silence all week). I need a break from it though, need to get into something that is my natural language. Ahhh, Graphite. How do I love thee? Firstly, Graphite, you are Erasable. So I can make mistakes :) Secondly, Graphite, you are Shiny. I love that. So I make shiny characters with you. Also you are grey and somber, Graphite, so I can make sad gloomy scary pictures with you too.

I've been drawing since I was 2 with graphite! No wonder I need to break away from it sometimes! 

I hope you like this drawing.... having fun with building my self-confidence, as usual :)
