deep sea life in willie's book
Lately I've been more into watercolors and figurative drawings - mostly animals of course. I was inspired and blown away by the work in Willie's Mole, and some of the sea life, including Aya's octopus and Ellen's two-page spread really inspired me to try some too. Being into things that are freaky and monstery, I went for the stuff that lives miles below the ocean's surface, and learned a lot in the process. That's what I love about these exchanges and drawing in general - they inspire me and cause me to want to learn about things I might otherwise know little about. Anyhow, it was an adjustment, working back in the smaller Mole again, being I've been spoiled by working in my newer A4 watercolor book, which I love to pieces. Still, it was kind of cool trying to draw so small again. I hope to get this journal out into the mail ASAP.

Getting Silly with Willie
I was trying to be a little more playful in Willie's book. I notice in his art, he will often combine some clever or humorous text with his sketching... so I tried it, to honor his process. Fun! Inspiration for the top one: I really did over-squeeze a clogged bottle of glue. What happened was not fun.
