The interesting things that happened today would fit in a nutshell. I saw a hot air balloon on the way to work. That hasn't ever happened before.
Here are the pictures to prove it. They are all drive-by shootings. I grabbed the camera as soon as I saw the tip of the balloon over the trees. I snapped the shots all the way down the road. But I won't make you look at all of them, even though it was the best thing that happened all day.
And that's it. That's all. Done.
Oh yeah, I drew too. It's a good thing I like to draw, otherwise my reports would probably have had random words written all over them (cause that is the other thing I do when I have pen in hand and paper in front of me) and unless Diahn was hosting Writober instead Artober, I wouldn't have anything else to blog about today since nothing interesting happened. So.....
Here are the pictures to prove it.....I placed my subject (art talk for leaf I picked up outside the office door) beside the leaf I drew and taped on my daily calendar to show....well the subject of today's artistic endeavor.
I'm not so great with leaves. I overworked it I think. But it is hard to make a leaf color when all you have is orange, yellow and purple highlighters, a pencil, a red and black pen to come up with something that resembles coppery brown.
I also made this quick sketch of my co-worker. The head is all wrong, but it is what it is.
And now I'm done. In a nutshell.
Keeping a visual record of my year was fun. Some days the entries were just doodles, some days I recorded the day's happenings and some days I used the calendar as a place to vent.
My 2009 calendar is waiting for me....I'll do this again next year.
I thought you might like a look.

Today was almost unbearably long. So glad it is over! How about your day? Got any

Now I have to go to bed because I am the boss of me and I said so. See ya later alligators!
Thinking about my vacation.
I printed out some quotes and taped them down on random dates. When I turn a page and find a quote I've chosen, I am able to contemplate its truth anew or I can laugh out loud again at its humor.
When work was slow I used my time to clean a co-worker's desk. I was that tired of looking at her mess.
I've experimented with my limited color palette of work pens and highlighters to express feelings in my sketches.
Hectic day-visually recorded.
I love drawing faces. I look around for other inspiration. I always come back to the face.
Day dreaming.
"She is feeling hot in a cold world." Maybe she is experiencing some changes in her life...how old are you honey?
Just some random observations.
Now you are up to date on my life.
