Part of a baby blanket I’m making for my brother’s forthcoming boy.
I started knitting this on Tuesday and then remembered that "Blanket" is the current theme for Illustration Friday, and I thought, "Hey! I should draw it!" Originally I imagined doing a super-macro drawing of just a couple of stitches, but I started too small, and grew crosseyed and bored very quickly, so I gave up and went for evocative abstraction.
I work a block away from a Fluevog store, and I’ve been eyeing these pumps for months. Every time there’s a sale, I go in to check the price. This style never goes on sale. So today I finally bit the bullet, tried them on, and bought them.
The polka dots belong to a Douglas Coupland coffee table that’s at the office where I do some of my freelance work. The white on the left is my sketchbook, open on my knee.
I used a mix of pen and colored pencil, because I needed brown. My mini-pen set doesn’t contain any browns, as I’ve complained many times, but the pencil set at the office had two.
I made two things yesterday for the first day of Thing-a-Day 2008:
1. Sautéed kale with garlic and white wine
2. A drawing of the kale’s twist tie
I’m not planning to draw for my “thing” every day this month, but when I do draw, I’ll cross-post it here.
Is anybody else Thing-ing?
