Sad Fork

Thom York says 'Be constructive with your blues.' And so I shall.
I've been writing my boy over seas and drawing him 'I miss you' pictures.
Life takes funny turns sometimes, does it not? I know that many artists press
on an create despite what they feel. This artist shall pause and let herself
react to her circumstance and create from that. I hope you don't mind.

This picture! Ben and I always share dessert. I found myself eating apple crumb cake all by myself the other day. He needs to come home so I can be around him and also so I don't gain excessive weight.

Good Excuse

Dear Blog-readers,
Thanks for your patience. My blog hasn't been up to snuff lately. A while, in fact. I haven't been drawing. I've been making a greeting card company, which should initiate drawing, but I'm not doing a very good job of fun whimsically things to put up here.
My husband left to defend our country and all its interests and I'm left to ... keep busy? Wish time to go by? I dunno. I know that I've found a rarity in life- someone whose absence unhinges me. Part of the reason I've loved drawing is because it gives me a space and time to think. I find that as I await his return, I find myself not wanting to think about things a great deal. Lately when I pick up a pencil I put it down, as I don't want the mental space that a drawing would allot me.
Give me a week or two, please come back and check in!

Bad/Awesome Jokes

I am helping a friend of mine piece together a website. I tried coming up with a 'contact us'
page, and this is the image I came up with.
So I ask you, the public, is it understandable?

Family Fun

I've been in a state of transition- or two states of transition, considering I've moved

to Illinois. I've been drawing- this is something I've made for a flyer for m'church

back home.

I hope to be able to sit down and spend some good time drawing in the near future,

and thanks for still checking in!

Mother Ship

This is a piece from the past. This little boy imagines
he is connecting with the mother ship in speaking to
his belly button, the communicating mechanism.
Odd, yes. Fun, you bet.

Buns Of Steel

After a week and a half of a virus with an unfun bout of hivey rashiness on my arms and legs, I am recovering. I smell like oatmeal (compliments of Aveeno oatmeal bath) and GoldBond cream. I'm thinking of selling the aroma to Vera Wang for a new perfume line. I think she'd like it.
I go for a short run today, which is torturous after lots of couch time. This is one of the cards I may put into production here soon- I can use it myself.

Really?

Unemployment + cold + hives = no fun for Steph

hives? hives?!!

While an oatmeal bath sounds like the epitome of luxurious living, it is not. Anti-itch cream, while a good good thing, has a hearty ben-gay smell attached.

Happy thought: my online-store, in which i will sell cards and calendars, etc, is soon to be up.
Stay
tuned.
