Catching up on those weekly portraits! I had a lot of plans for myself yesterday. As a mild headache rolled in around lunch time, I continued with my to-do list, not looking that headache directly in the eye. If it can’t see me, it can’t get me, right? Avoidance doesn’t work with headaches. By the…

31/52 A Portrait a Week
I’m finally caught up! 31 portraits down and I’m back on schedule. I listen to a lot of Andrew Bird. I never tire of his albums and his music is the kind that I could ‘live in’. So I drew his portrait in those smelly Prismacolor/Chartpak markers and a fine tip Staedtler pen. There…

A self portrait in Chartpak ad markers and Prismacolor markers with Faber-Castel artist pens. This is from a photo from last summer. My friend Stacey was visiting with her husband and some friends. I took them to Max Patch, of course, for some wine and a picnic. We went for a hike around the mountain…

Amelia, the person! I’ve been using facebook to find photos of the friends I have been doing these marker portraits of.

Last year, she left our hometown of Indianapolis for Brooklyn and adventures of all kinds. Just the other week she hiked up Mt. Kilimanjaro with a group of rad folks with Project Elevation. You know,…

Trying to catch up with these! I actually did this one a while ago and forgot to ever post it. I think it’s because it didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped. This is my friend, Stacey. We’ve been friends since junior year chemistry class in high school. A few weeks ago, we…

Beatrice This is based on a photo from last summer. She was 3 years old and showing me some tomato plants she said she planted. I wasn’t finished with the drawing but I dropped the photo down into our weird old recliner couch and couldn’t find it again.
17/52 – A Portrait a Week
My paternal grandmother, Janet, known to me as Granny. This is based on my favorite photo of her. She looks so happy and elegant! It makes me think of all the tea parties we had together around her little living room table, and the messes she would let me make in her kitchen while I…
