Winter is a busy time.

Working in water colour again and listening to far too much This American Life.

When my friends heard that I was doing audio books to keep my company while I work and live like a hermit- just a little- many suggested I try the famous podcast/radio show This American Life.  I enjoy it's quirky little way of telling a story and how it presents ideas that are not too opinionated one way or the other, they let you wonder a bit and ask your own questions.  It is refreshing to listen to media that encourages you to decide on your own.

On my own I have decided not to post images of the new works yet.  Still unsure about it all.

Soon.

"Nothing is either good or bad, only thinking makes it so." - Shakespeare.

and then I think of Ubu Roi and all those swears!

yay!

A Surefire way to Turn a Frown Upside-down

I was a bit sad that my vacation was over until I remembered this little gem of a project that I did on a cool January eve.

The goal here was to draw 100 smiley faces in an act of self cheering.

It totally works.

Here is my sample, and I encourage you to do the same.

If you do do the same you should share it with others too.. or share it with me!!!
