evil rotten rasputin was the topic of today’s drawergeeks.
apparently, as legend has it, ol’ raspi was nearly impossible to kill. after several assassination attempts on the guy (including being stabbed and strangled) his body was eventually found frozen in an icy river. he was found poisoned, shot four times and severely beaten. after all of this, the autopsy report showed that his cause of death was hypothermia.
of course, that’s just legend. but it does sound like raspi wasn’t a very popular russian (i mean- he was evil). maybe he just died of a broken heart?

Drawing Live in Orlando
Filed Under Array
I’m sitting at my buddy Keelan’s computer, on the last day of my little vacation/work trip to Orlando, FL. We had a blast working a couple gigs this week, on Disney property with many many artists and friends whom I haven’t seen for a while.
This is just a peek at one sketch (and guests) that I had the pleasure of drawing… I’ve never met merrier ladies!

The noble Art of blogging
Filed Under Array
First I get an idea
I write it down and nail it to a tree
In the evening a thought farmer harvest my ideas
The Idea is then conceptualized by my Creative Executive Group in a all night meeting
In the morning the concept is brought to one of my creative Directors
He holds an audition. There’s always plenty of actors milling around just outside of my blog-studio
At the art department they work hard designing the suits
and decor..
Early afternoon the suits and decor is in place and the actor can start their work. I used to use live animals but I had some union problems and had to use actors instead
With the aid of state of the art Camera Obscura techniques, the drawing is produced
I come in and give the masters touch to the piece of art
It is then delivered to the computing department where it is lovingly scanned
My resident poet then writes the text for the art
And everything is delivered to a computer not far from you

1 of 7 posters
Project with a short deadline. A top secret client commissioned me to design 7 posters for a leg of the Dinosaur Jr., tour. Because there was so little time to do them and the budget was small I had to design something that would look different if I changed up the colors and the shirt designs 7 different times. These will only be available at the show and NOT on my site. Solly Cholly. You snooze you lose.

saying no compassionately
Filed Under Array
Yesterday I turned down a job. And it wasn’t easy. Because usually I say yes. I like to say yes. Sure. I can get it done. No problem. And I’ll make it look easy. And you won’t even know that I sacrificed my downtime for it. To you, it will look seamless and beautiful. And you’ll be happy. And I’ll be happy you’re happy.
Or so I thought. But I’m starting to change that kind of thinking… I’m starting to realize that saying yes to everything is not in line with my priorities (to be balanced and healthy, to have a fun marriage, to be creative, etc). And I’m squishing out the things I *really* want to do with things that I feel *obligated* to do.
And when I’m really honest about it… I think that my saying yes all the time is because I’m afraid. Afraid that clients will stop calling me for work (so scary!). Or that I’ll miss an opportunity. Or that I’ll disappoint someone.
So I declined that job and am really trying to trust that it’s okay. That it’ll work out anyway and she’s not mad at me… and that she’ll call again in the future.
Afterward, I spoke to a friend on the phone and told her that I was working on saying no compassionately. And she liked that phrase… I said I was trying to really listen to my gut and give myself a little more time when making decisions so I could know if it’s something I really wanted to do, or if it was something that I was saying yes to out of habit or reflex or obligation. Would I just be cramming it in because I thought I had to? — or was it something I would do joyfully?
Or is there a way to compromise? –
Last Friday I got an email from a gallery I am working with now about scheduling a show for next year. (hi kate!) She wrote and said they’d like to have me for a solo show. And I was so flattered… but I decided I would think about it over the weekend. I weighed how much work went into the last solo show and what my priorities are for next year. And ultimately, I decided to say no.
So I emailed her back on Monday, heart pounding, and explained my situation… what I had in mind for next year and asking if she would instead consider a group show. I hit ’send’ and congratulated myself for doing what was right for me (and then prayed she would not be mad at me).
And y’know… within the hour she emailed back and said that was totally fine. She understood and was thrilled about curating a group show.
!!
So now I am challenging myself every day to really look at what I say yes to. And where I can give myself space by saying no. Trusting it will all be okay. And no one will hate me. I’ll let you know how it goes.
