radishes

are some of my favorite things in the garden. They grow like magic and taste completely different from the store bought kind, better of course. 

Lot's of things going on here, at the pool, at the garden, at home and in the sketchbook. The Art Festival was rescheduled for this weekend, and Art Camp is coming up. I'll be teaching two sessions, and that's always high energy and a lot of fun.

summer !

The beginning of summer break is here - for some of us.

I'll be checking in regularly to make sure I keep on track :)

details...

In my eagerness to turn the poster in on time, I neglected to take a picture of it.

Here's a detail shot of the hand lettered type, I'll have to wait a bit and snap a photo of the poster in a shop window, in it's element.

pre final poster...

Here is a peek at the pre final of the poster, we needed to a make a small change and add more guys and cars for a party atmosphere.

I guess this is where it comes out that I don't like crowds :)

so far so good...

checking in

Well, the festival was postponed for weather, the trip to Washington DC (I chaperoned the 5th grade) was a crazy adventure, and I'm just popping in for a sign of life....I know you worry :)

Color study for a local project, an anniversary poster for the annual 4th of july festival.

Catch you later, gotta go ...

gearing up

Today is all about getting ready for the art festival (50% chance of rain, please hold off....)

here's a peek at the practice run for the woven teepees, I'd like to just stand around and weave them myself tomorrow.

The map has turned into a coloring page, so that should be fun too.

Happy Friday!

On my desk this week, I'm designing the map to navigate this years Clemson Festival of Arts. The map is more for fun, it's not quite that big :) There's a lot to do though, come out and play along if you live around here. Now I have to go back to making t-shirt yarn to weave the teepee's, harvest some bamboo,  lead a flower workshop for the flash art...oh yeah, first the map.

Come back to see the color final later this week.

In other "news", I spend a lot of time these days following/driving my girls around. The horse farm is, of course, a constant, but the dance studio is pretty new to me. I like to draw and watch them rehearse.
