Graphitints AND Coloursofts on illustration board
on ebay

I was having one of those days.
A friend of the family died a couple of days ago, and it got me thinking about life and death and all that good stuff, hence the title. Sometimes it all just seems surreal, doesn't it? Like, what are we doing here, anyway? And what's it all mean?

Plus, its raining raining, this endless gloomy heavy rain and grey sky.

I dunno, this is just what came out today. I actually thought "I feel like doing a yarn piece", and got out my Graphitints and Coloursofts and tried using them together.
I started with brown Coloursoft, then did a Grey Graphitint over the whole thing, then added color, then toned it back down, then did white over it all, then I kind of lost track.

It was very therapeutic though, and I kinda like the result. I managed to get some kind of deep jewel tones, which isn't what I was going for, but that's OK, I like deep jewel tones.

I'm working on a COOL private commission, wish I could share. Maybe I can, I'll ask. Maybe not though, which I will understand. Its not yarn! ha ha Kind of a children's book thing. Fun fun fun.

Remember the doll house I gave my mom for Christmas? Well, she loves that thing to death. Today we went online (well, I went online and she sat in a chair and watched) and we found some doll house sites and she ordered...get this...toilet paper. TOILET PAPER. Little teeny tiny rolls of Scott toilet tissue. And a newspaper and a grandfather clock.

And now I will leave you with this.
Cher is singing. Yes, that Cher.
Burt Bacharach and Hal David did the music.
Remember when Michael Caine looked like this?
