trying to make art again
last weekend was purge weekend in preparation for our upcoming move. as i was cleaning out my craft closet, i realized i'd had my gocco for almost 5 months and only made 2 prints with it.
so i gathered up some inspiration and set to work. then i ruined two screens and got to a dead end. i will try again tomorrow. i had a feeling it might backfire on me, but the fear of making a mistake or failing is what was holding me back anyway, so i guess i just need to press through it. i want to make more art again. i hate that my walls aren't covered in paintings and drawings anymore. i think i just need a little structure for myself, or a theme to investigate.
i'm going to do a series on death. the image above that i'm working on has ghost people behind the main character... and i like the direction of that. we'll see where it heads.
cheers!

Hi Sam!
This is Sarah(Dewey)Noack. I recently found your website, and found out we are both fans of Dooce! LOVE her blog. Anyway, I wanted to just touch base, say good luck in NY, and tell you that I have really enjoyed reading some of your archived entries. Also, REALLY enjoyed the blk/wht sketches every day a while back. Your thoughts on your dad's death have really hit home with some of my own thoughts on my dad's potential death (he has cancer). Well, please tell Russell hi if you remember, and feel free to email me anytime at runnergirl2003@hotmail.com
See you!
i like the concept. persevere! persevere!
I have no idea what that is but it looks neat. I'll look forward to the series on death. It's something I'm very interested in and deal with a lot at work. I think you'll like NYC. I highly recommend living in Brooklyn, if you want any tips on neighborhoods definitely ask! I wish I had known before I moved what I know now...
