Another clayboard pencil drawing. I sure love that surface.
Here is another clayboard drawing. Notice it is unfinished. I do that a lot. I saw this as a woman, but, like many of these drawings and paintings I have been making lately, there is a bit of androgeny going on. I don't intentionally draw them like that, it just happens. I am probably trying to strike a balance between the masculine and feminine. But what I really enjoy, is watching my subconscious surface in these drawings. It is happening more and more lately. More on that later....
This is an unpublished sample I did a few years back, while working on "Little Scraggly Hair," written by Lynn Cullen, pub'd by Holiday House, 2003.
This was made at the point where I am trying to figure out what kind of style to use. Every picture book has a different flavor. I am always feeling out different styles in the beginning stages of working on a pic book, so I can best honor the story's personality. I like the dirty pencil line look of this piece, I think it goes well with the text. I especially like the relationship of the woman to the zebra.

This is John's old girl, Mel, sketched from his photoblog. Sketching her reminds me of an idea I have had for a long time. I drive around these rolling hills and often see my favorite neighboring animal friends, fenced in here and there. There's a terrific old billy goat down a dirt road I walk. And a gorgeous palomino up the road. I have a soft spot for draft horses. But my real loves, the ones I am dying to draw, are the gnarly ones. The horses with the underbites, the goats and cows with the matted hair, the bony, the unattractive. The ones who's stories are all over their faces. Maybe this sketchbook could be my outlet for that. I guess it's time to carry my camera around with me....
This is the old girl on "Swimmer's Rock" in southern Maine a few years ago.
