Lightning strikes a symbol cloud. Suddenly everything we've ever known as truth falls to the ground. It seeps in and slowly begins to regenerate fresh ideas. Such things has only the immortal Redwood seen time after time after time after time after time after time -Jen Meharg '06

365, Day 20.
The Creation of Adam...or The Recycling of Adam.
Michaelangelo meant to do it this way.
Then Recycled Adam had dominion over the glue bottles, empty coffee bags and heath bars, and it was good.

365, day 19; Perspective.
While I was walking home today I heard a couple screaming at each other from within their house. It reminded me how bad it feels to be so angry that all you can do is scream and say things to hurt the person you love.

365, Day 12.
Today should be day 15, but since Wednesday I haven't had much time to create. I may make more than one piece today, or maybe I will relax and let the muse guide me.

I ignored today's prompt and just went with an idea I had begun to sketch out in my journal, a drawn butterfly made from imagined found objects.

Enjoy!!

365 Day 11.

Today's prompt was to use your non dominant hand to make your project. I tend to be a little ambidextrous, so this project was right up my alley.
Enjoy!!

365 day 10!
I used the prompt 'make a stencil and use it in your creation', which was really for day 7 or something, but I'm jumping around, doing what feels right for the day.
Dolphins. I never draw dolphins, but I was looking at the paper and asking it what creations it had in it and I saw a Tribal Dolphin Sun. So now you can see it.
Enjoy!!

365 day 7.


It was a fun night, but in the end he found her to be a little two dimensional. Sadly three weeks later she juiced herself.

365-day 6.
Today I felt like drawing something simple and something I know.
I've been drawing this type of rose since I was about 13. It's gone through a lot of changes throughout the years, but it still remains my go to doodle.
The figure is much more recent. Based on gesture drawings, it made it's first appearance in 2006.
It feels good to combine them... kind of like one of my old friends meets one of my new friends, and they really get along. The best thing is that drawings don't get bitchy and turn against you :).

365, Day 5.
I was running low on ideas this morning and thought I wanted to do something a little more 3D. The prompt in the book for today was to work with something you collect. I have a little collection of wooden fish from mexico which are colorful and lovely, and they make me happy. Because I wanted to work more with my hands today I decided to make a fish from scrap clothing; old jeans, in fact, that I wore until they disintegrated. I loved those jeans, and now they are a fun, puckery, floppy fish!!!
Here it is, the Floppy Denim Fish!

365 Day 3.
I used to call these little guys the Party Elves. I'd put them all over letters I'd write to my mom. I love drawing hands and hooves.

My second 365 entry. Today's prompt from the book was to use your favorite animal as inspiration. I combined two thoughts in this drawing: one, I need to sell my horse, time being a factor, and second was an image I created in my journal a couple of years ago of an 'Eyebird' (my creation).

Day one of my 365 Creative Project a Day journey.
Call me crazy, but I love to draw intersecting lines and circles. I've drawn this type of sun before, I like to call them Sunchangingshape.
