Enough about you, I suck!

I hung out with my friend, Gi, today in Pasadena. I was all set to share the pictures I took with my new camera phone then I read Danny Gregory's post and I decided I needed to step up to the plate and suck.

You see, one of the reasons I haven't been writing so much is because I've been drawing and working on my card designs. I've gradually been sharing my cards at work but still don't have much confidence in their artistic value. But, I've decided I'm going to start keeping a file of them in my Flicker account, if I can only remember to take pictures of them before I give them away.

I also thought I'd share some of my drawings. I'm just beginning and haven't put much time into it lately. But, I really want to make a regular practice of it because ultimately I want to paint. However, I don't feel like I can paint until I learn more about...pretty much everything.

So here goes:

I'm trying to do journaling along with my pictures, like Danny and others' that I've seen, but well, I don't quite have "it" yet, the notations feel a bit forced. I guess because I'm not really drawing from life around me but from a book.

These are photos of the drawings which I kind of like better than scans because the blur covers over a multitude of mistakes and my scanner is out of commission as of late.

One last photo, this one I started but never finished because it was getting late and trying to do the white spots was really tedious. One thing I've learned through these endeavors is that I have little or no patience. This drawing was motivated by a picture I came upon one night on (sometimes)photoblog.

And so... Here I am testing Danny's theory that no one will really notice how badly I suck because they really are more concerned with themselves.

So...what kind of day did you have?
