Say Hello To Miriam!

So…I’ve been developing new code mush characters. I don’t have that many.  I mean, some have kind of been tucked away in old paper mushes where they might have only appeared in one or two issues, or scribbled on some desk in high school, ahh…taped to a sign post and never to be seen from again. But that’s okay because I’m not trying to relive that time in my life, but trying to develop the ever evolving (but more or less the same) code mush.  Oh, so what.

Miriam is evolving into a new character of mine. She is a crafty person, always crocheting. She even has yarn in her hair. And…that’s pretty much all that I have time to discuss about her. Or maybe…that’s all that I really know about her. More will be revealed later! I might even show you some of her crafty work.

Dreaming of fish

A dream I had of salmon swimming at my feet

 

I think in my last post I wrote something about feet. Yes, I’ve been working on sketching a pen and ink (possibly add color later) about a dream I had several years ago that has pretty much stuck with me. It was in Alaska (or somewhere up north, but for some reason Alaska sounds right) I was standing in some still clear water (could have been an estuary), and all of a sudden thousands of salmon were swimming past my legs and I could feel them kissing my feet. It felt completely real and exciting. Then all of a sudden I started swimming with them and ended up in the ocean where I was met by these whales flapping their enormous tail fins in the water. I wasn’t even scared by them, I just started playing with them. When I woke up, I felt this blanket of peace. I wanted to go back to sleep and relive that dream. I still do. Sometimes when I am stressing out, I will think of that dream.

I have dreams of north. Northern Lights, snow, and water. I used to be very big on dream interpretation, but as of yet, the only dreams I have are really about stuff that I was thinking about before I went to bed. Or the tv show I was watching before I went to bed, hah. But, I don’t really have dreams like that anymore, or that often. But, I know it’s just a rough sketch (all of my stuff are just sketches really). I hope that soon by the start of the new year (that’s my goal) to start selling some cards and illustration stuff on my etsy site. Wish me luck, I am not very confident in my art. And I do want to do digital stuff soon. I just need to get my butt in gear.

A Giant Foot! AAHH!!

Yeah...it's a scary FOOT.

 

Well, code mush doesn’t have much to say except FOOT. I have been practicing drawing feet for a painting i’m working on. so far, I just keep drawing a foot a day, and the only thing that I can see wrong is that I keep drawing from the same angle. I need to start drawing looking down. That will come next in the foot practicing. ahh…
