Daily Creativity: Love Your Body
Love Your Body is a theme that is very near and dear to me, so I wanted to try a bit of line art with a figure. Ink on paper.

Daily Creativity: Kamae
Daily Creativity: Kamae
Kamae is the stance that all of aikido is based on. In this drawing I plotted out the angles to create the proper stance, and then drew in the lines hoping to evoke the movement that was about to happen. Tek said he’d like to see other stances and some techniques in this style. I was inspired by the day’s teaching at the kenshu. Ink on paper.
Daily Creativity: Elephant Problems
Daily Creativity: Elephant Problems
I love drawing elephants, it started as something I drew for my nieces, and then I started drawing them more and more, and I really love them. This one I drew with the idea of an elephant who was disgruntled because they got their trunk in a knot. Elephant problems was done with Pencils on Paper.
Tek and I went up north for an Aikido kenshu (seminar), so we did an extra big purge before heading up. We tossed a bunch of tee shirts, some will be saved for a quilt I’m working on, while the rest will go to the local charities.
Daily Creativity: Ishime
Daily Creativity: Ishime
Ishime is a character that I’ve tried to draw before but never got as close as this. I’m getting better but, I still need to do more work I think before I’m read to add her to my illustrations. She’s a panther cub with purple eyes and a white streak of fur on her forehead. She believes that she can become invisible if she slathers herself with perfume, everyone lets her believe that. She was created by a good friend of mine, but has stayed with me all of these years. Added to Rory’s friends long ago. This is just a snapshot, will scan later. I’m waiting on a new cable for my scanner. Pencil on paper.
Day two of lent purge has also been done. Removing items from the house is liberating.
Daily Creativity: Eggplant Constrictor
Daily Creativity: Eggplant Constrictor
It’s Ash Wednesday so that means it’s time for Daily Creativity every day again. This has become a favorite time of the year, not just for me, but for a select few of my followers, and that’s awesome. This year Tek and I have decided to try something we have seen people posting about, the Lent purge. This year, every day we will each choose something to purge from our home. If it can be donated, it will be donated, if not, it will be trashed or recycled. We also will be donating the clothes we have been gathering for far too long and actually donate them. The goal is once a week to drop things off. I’m excited for this, stuff is a big stress, getting rid of it should help. And hey, in a few years we will have to down size for a year, so it’s a good time to start that.
Today’s Daily Creativity, The Eggplant Constrictor, is a spin on a drawing I’ve done before. It’s a character for a children’s book I’ll likely never write. Simon, the vegetarian snake. You’ll notice that this is a bad image, it’s a snap from my cell phone. I’ll scan it later, but I wanted to post tonight. I finished a commissioned piece today and sent it out, I can’t share that till the job is done. I hope they like it. When it is approved, there might be changes or redrafts, I’ll share. And there is another piece a while ago that I never scanned, I’ll post that later.
