I was in a half wake, half sleep state the other morning and my mind was trying to figure out what to draw for Artday Monday. Theme was/is Opposites. This illustration came to me. Opposite creatures, opposite times of day, opposite stances, opposite orientation, opposite directions..etc..


I don’t know about you, but I’ve had enough with the laundry. It never ever seems to end!!! A good friend of mine hires someone to come to her home and clean her family’s laundry. I’m so jealous.
I can’t ever seem to finish because I can’t finish in one day. There is too much! Call me anytime and ask what I’m doing….and I’ll answer, LAUNDRY! I need 4 washers and 4 dryers so I can do lots of loads at one time. While I’m thinking about it, I could use 4 dishwashers too!

This is my laundry room. HELP!

Foggy can mean so many things…. foggy mind (which I have) foggy air conditions, foggy smog stuff… (more…)
I could not think of anything interesting for the word “Sour.” I automatically think of lemons and limes. I didn’t feel inspired with this word. Usually something pops in my head but this time, nothing. I was sick of thinking about it so I decided to use this sketch in my sketchbook of a sour old lady. I fear it may be my future.


I love this twice a week challenge. I decided to use India ink, Sumi ink, and a small nib to create this Monday’s illustration. The small color spots I colored in with Pantone markers. I copied my rough sketch on to a clean piece of vellum paper. I like the smoothness of the paper but it isn’t very conducive to washes. I didn’t care, this was Artday Monday. I was free to play.
