This was the perfect word for me tonight. I have been trying to get a creative project going but keep getting interrupted by the challenges that life dishes out. Now every time I start I want to see the success right away and am a bit frustrated that it isn’t prefect.

I was reminded of a drawing assignment that many of you may have done in class where you draw without looking at your paper. The whole joy of the assignment is in fact they are inaccurate. I did add a small twist on the assignment so that I couldn’t cheat. I created a new photoshop file with a white background then added a new blank layer above it. Then I did the drawing in white. That way I couldn’t see the previous drawing. Upon completing the drawing I locked the transparent pixels and added a darker value so that the image showed up.

It took a few minutes and gave me permission not to be perfect.

There are some things that only a kid can come up with. One of my favorite is from my son. “Shhh please be quiet my foots asleep.”

Attic Bottles

There is always a box of glass bottles left as an inheritance for posterity. They are kind of cool and seem to have some value and so the very dusty bottles are passed on from one attic to the next…and the next…

This image is made with three photoshop layers. Each layer was drawn in charcoal. The drawings are scanned and colorizes in photoshop.
