Angela's Book / Petr's Entry

I tinkered a lot with how to step into Angela's book and in the end I decided to draw a series of self portraits while setting myself for failure.

My first portrait I drew in Angela's sketchbook attached to a ceiling with my brush, pencil and pen attached to 1 & half meter long stick.

 My second portrait I drew left handedly. 

My third portrait I drew without seeing the sketchbook or the drawing in progress.

Here's the results.

Eric's entry in Jeane's TCOHOKIES

Holy shit, that was a complicated word to spell!

In any event, I finally got around to posting on my entry. Petr and I have been working on a side project and I located some random stuff in my studio that was PERFECT for Jeane's book (I don't dare try to spell that word again...)

chackies? shochkeys? WTF?

Do pens and pencils I found while biking qualify as a small bauble or miscellaneous item? WTF is a bauble? Weird giant, pastel colored eyelets? Googly eyes? I hope so....

In any event, Petr used some googly-eyes in our project, then I recalled I had tons of them stashed away. OK, so this image of the spread is actually upside down, as all of you will subsequently recognize after me. Oh well.

OK, so there's some mica I collected while rock climbing and of course, what's an entry without some spray paint and glitter to top things off?!

Angela's entry into Rika's book, TRAVEL

This was meant to be posted for April. Ooopsieeee!  

Rika's theme is travel and since I've been missing the beautiful surroundings of my last two "homes" (Cornwall, England and Basel, Switzerland) my doodly entry is about escaping the city, and traveling to the countryside. I didn't consciously think about it at the time, but looking at it now, it's a mishmash of the two: the wild, rugged Cornish landscape, as well as the vantage point of looking out of a train window at the lush greenness of Switzerland. Riding on those pristine, super-efficient trains is one of my favorite memories.   ...Maybe that's what the swirly stuff is about? Or maybe it's just windy?  ;p

Eric, my entry for your Death theme is almost ready to post. Just to letcha know your baby is alive and well - terrible pun intended.
