goodbye year

the last doodle of 2011, unless another spontaneously arises before midnight.  i found this scrap of thin cardboard in my milk crate o' fun.  its back is secretly streaked with bright green paint -  a stowaway from my summer at bread & puppet.  in the coming year(s), may we all make the best of life's trash!  sharpie + colored pencil + life's trash.

doodle: the next generation

i have not stopped doodling since leaving the job that allowed me copious amounts of uninterrupted paper/ pencil time.  the piece above, however, is the first i've managed to color in for quite a while.  in the left-hand corner is the line: "this heart was empty long before you didn't fill it up." sharpie + colored pencil + emo on notebook paper

the saddest princess

 

going through my paper bag full of art, i found this not-so happy princess drawn originally from a not-especially royal, but fairly content nude model.  i had schemed a swampy kingdom, but after an entire swamp-free year, decided to cut her out and place her in the wilds of my backyard instead.  sharpie + oil pastel on butcher paper.
