Tea Instead

As my tea was cooling down I decided to doodle my mug.

Doesn’t necessarily look like the original. Oh, I suppose here is the original.

Yes the crappiness and the swiftness that I drew it. The artistic license. The mush way to turn it into the crudest drawing, you get it, you see it. Lately I’ve felt like why bother? I chuck out crap lately because I’m not sure I have the creative stuff happening in the brain …And brains again… I’ll go back to brains. I’ll go on my rotation for blobby faces, coffee mugs, brains and birds. Blobby faces, coffee mugs, brains and birds…blobby faces, coffee mugs, brains and birds…over and over until you’re pretty sure the woman is mad!

Because I am mad I tells ya!

I will say this I did have some talent many years ago, but turns out prolonged stress and anxiety really does wobble the brain a bit. Not to mention kill the soul.

And you wonder why I like drawing brains … UGH.

Mash up Doodles of Halloween

Now late than ever the only Halloween doodles I managed to facilitate this year, but didn’t think they were blog worthy. I felt a bit sad for not creating anything like I usually do. But its how it goes. I was busy decorating the outside and also making sure my kid’s costumes were put together well.

Venus, Moon and Regulus Doodle

The crescent moon, smiling, winking (and Regulus a tiny spec, or freckle).

This was yesterday morning on the 19th.

I saw it, did you see it? It was better in person, this simpleton doodle doesn’t do it justice. It was magical, it was just the torch of joy I needed.

You read that right. Torch!

It did torch my soul! Not touch, torch. It set it a blazing!!

Stars are brilliant fire balls so it makes sense. And we’re made of star stuff.

Floating Caffeinated Head (of Dismay)

Floating Caffeinated Head (of Dismay)

It’s been a long time since I’ve done a floating head of dismay! And why not it floating in a cup of coffee… He’s definitely had too much coffee (man!).

I’m thinking of taking some of my coffee cup herons and my floating heads on coffee cups and making some printmaking. I’ve got a little experience with it, just need to gather the materials. I bet you didn’t know but my brain obsession starting in a printmaking class. I made a woodcut of a giant brain and some etchings. Sadly I don’t have any of the etchings but I still have my woodblock of the brain.

Mother’s Day

To all Mom’s on Earth. Happy Mother’s Day.

I don’t really like these doodles, the bird is too big and the little blobs look like hamsters to me. Oh well, here you go. I normally feel mushy and want to write something sweet but I don’t feel like it. I feel sort of guilty, this holiday is set out for moms which is great! but I don’t feel like I’m that great of a mom to deserve it. Or that great of a daughter to my mom either. I feel I should be doing more, and I don’t because I’m tired or stressed or guilty for not doing everything. Ugh
