This is the beginning!

This is the beginning of a new blog for me. It's inspired by words... things that I've read, heard, or seen... and that I keep coming back to as a source of inspiration-- not just for art or business, but for life.

I am at a point of transition in my life (well, career-wise at least), and in trying to forge some sort of path, I'm also trying to take some time to be quiet, to read, and to just let things happen to me. Which is not something that I am good at. So, this sketchbook was born, of words and jots, doodles and findings.

I'm not very good at sitting still and being quiet, so I started drawing out these phrases and spending some time with them-- writing the letters, figuring out what they really mean to put them together in a visual way. All of them were jotted down in pencil and then outlined with my favorite Artline pens, and colored with my Prismacolor pencils.

I hope that you enjoy!
