This is yesterday’s. The Tarxien Venus November 12, 2009

I put it in DrawMo at Flickr, but forgot to put it here. Sorry.

Obviously another variation on the Velazquez, but in this case employing motifs from ancient sculpture (the hugely hipped Mother) and my Maltese lycanthropic cycle.

Based on the ancient statue of a Tritoness November 12, 2009

An angel inspired by the tile work on the Edward Everard Building on Broad Street in Bristol.

Fort Hood November 10, 2009

Messed up the date, clearly my auto-pilot is not working. ‘nuf said.

I can’t believe I’m still drawing the cats November 10, 2009

In my defense, they do keep sitting in my line of sight.

Benjamin (a new addition to the Maltese lycanthropy cycle) November 10, 2009

I’m working on it … November 10, 2009

This is a drawing of Ruedi Baur, who spoke at a seminar I attended the first weekend of Drawmo:

Next I did a quick thumbnail sketch of myself that I vectorized in Illustrator – mainly for my blog, but because I’m such a lazy Drawmonaut it will have to do as drawing #2:

Third drawing was made while making supper.

And the last of this batch was a selfportrait I drew – also while cooking.

-So now I’m only, what, 7? 8? drawings behind? Better go sharpen those pencils I guess. :)

Flicker and… November 10, 2009

We had solar panel installed in August on the roof above the family and kitchen. I don’t really think about them except today there was quite a ruckus going on. At first I thought it might be a squirrel running around on the roof. It wasn’t long before I discovered that it was a pair of Flickers. I know during mating season they chase each around – I assume that’s what they were doing. Great, something to worry about, can solar panels be damaged by dancing red-shafted flickers?

To the tune of “Journey to the Heavyside Layer” November 9, 2009

I never saw the musical Cats, and I don’t think my ex-boyfriend A. did, either, but whenever he wished to evoke the show (which—I can’t explain why one might do this, but, trust me, it came up more than once), he would sing, to the tune of what I have subsequently determined is the song “Journey to the Heavyside Layer” from the show, the following lyrics:

Cats, cats, cats, ca-a-ats,
Cats, cats, cats, ca-a-ats,
Ca-ats, cats cats,
Cats cats cats cats!
etc.

So, if you know the tune, you should sing it along while reviewing these sketches.
