-Why do you always draw me?
-Because I find you beautiful

-I’m really not you know

-I think you are

-You’re sweet, but really, I’m not

-See, this is where you and I are different.. you only see what you think you are missing,  while I see what you have, and it’s beautiful.
_ You’re sweet. 
-I know

-Must be an artist thing.

-What do you mean?

_It’s like when I see your drawings and I think they’re so good, and you think they are so bad and you want to quit?

-hmmm.. It doesn’t really happen that often.

-hahahaha... you’re sweet AND you’re funny..

Quick one...
I just realized that when I want a quick fix, I tend to go back to a type of images I’ve done before. It’s like comfort food in a way.. It’s not new, but it always hits the spot, especially when you’re not feeling too adventurous. I never thought about it that way, but, yeah... I can always draw kids ( or dogs) jumping off rocks and it will make me feel better! Funny.

One thing I love about the midwest is the sheer size of the sky.
Every time I’ve been there, I feel I’m going to drown in that sky if I stare too long at it. It’s truly amazing. I don’t really miss it here because it’s one of those things that makes me want to go back and visit Kansas City for instance.
Here, in LA,we have different things, and it’s nice to have different points of views and experience to understand the value of each. At least, for me it works like that.

Winter commute.
Train rides in winter... the dim light inside and the bright one from the windows...and the rolling of the carts. It always makes me fall asleep.

Just in the mood for some scratchy line drawing.
It’s simpler, fun to do, and you really can’t go wrong with it.

When it’s warm in the sun and so cool in the shades.

There is something about small, warm places in the middle of a big cold rainy day that just makes me happy.

Lately I’ve been working with some amazing artists, great designers and painters and it’s made me think a little( a LOT) more about how I do things.
I never thought I was a great artist but more of a storyteller using images to tell stories... and it’s still true.  But these days I’m thinking that I could always use some improvement with my actual art.... so I’ve been practicing a bit quicker things , using less brushstrokes, less colors, more colors, different themes that I am not comfortable with ( like this one)... not because I necessarily want to change what I do, but mainly because I strongly believe that the more I know , the better I am at comprehending what I do.
It’s like each time I try something different, go somewhere I haven’t gone before, it gives me a different vantage point on to what I do naturally and makes it clearer to me.

And... if nothing else, it’s just a lot of fun.

In the end, it’s amazing how little matters.
Some things do, but it’s usually not the ones we spend our lives worrying about.

I love Sunday nights.

I actually use to NOT love Sunday nights at ALL. It use to get me all bluesy because  the next day would be school, but I do remember being tired at the end of the weekend, especially when it would be Winter.. watching old Peanuts rerun on tv , taking hot baths or just hanging out with the family.

..and then she said that I just didn’t understand anything, and that I don’t pay attention to her.

What does that even mean?

Man, I can’t wait till I’m bigger so I can know everything about girls.
