The bar code triangle fell out of the Newsweek I was reading at lunch, so the doodle took shape from that. ]]> http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2007/09/you_cant_always_get_what_you_w.html http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2007/09/you_cant_always_get_what_you_w.html Art Journal Fridays Sketchbook Tue, 04 Sep 2007 07:35:47 -0600 Teal has always been one of my favorite colors. My eyes are actually a dull blue/gray, but when I wear a teal top, it makes my eyes stand out. Once when I still wore glasses, someone at work came up to me and asked me if were wearing tinted contact lenses. I played around with this image of my taken on my birthday wearing a teal dress. I've been fascinated with Klimt's work lately, so I patterned this after one of his portraits of Adele. On top of the big screen TV I stood in front of was a small picture of me as a child standing standing in front of a radio singing. I already had a scan of the childhood portrait so I superimposed that in the image. I had a lot of fun in Photoshop with this prompt from d'blogala ]]> http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2007/08/teal_a_la_klimt.html http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2007/08/teal_a_la_klimt.html Art Journal Fridays Mon, 20 Aug 2007 19:36:05 -0600 I was in a crabby mood from the get go. The recent hot humid weather was beginning to life. I was able to get out at lunch and take a 20 minute walk in the sunshine and was refreshed. ]]> http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2007/08/solvitur_ambulando.html http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2007/08/solvitur_ambulando.html Illustrated Quotations Fri, 17 Aug 2007 13:52:52 -0600 ]]> http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2007/06/empress_1.html http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2007/06/empress_1.html Sketchbook Tarot Cards Wed, 13 Jun 2007 21:31:02 -0600 This is the original orientation of this doodle.

I hadn't heard the Rolling Stones song, "Time Waits for No one" in years, then I heard it twice on the radio in my car in one day. The lyrics were hanging around in my head--they seemed a natural fit to finish off thepage. ]]> http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2007/03/some_recent_journal_page_scans_1.html http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2007/03/some_recent_journal_page_scans_1.html Sketchbook Wed, 21 Mar 2007 18:13:22 -0600 ]]> http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2007/01/lunch_time_sketch.html http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2007/01/lunch_time_sketch.html Sketchbook Fri, 19 Jan 2007 21:00:19 -0600 Larger Trying something different by gessoing a page first, then playing around with cheap acrylic paints. ]]> http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2006/11/_larger_trying_something_diffe.html http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2006/11/_larger_trying_something_diffe.html Sun, 19 Nov 2006 14:28:22 -0600 ]]> http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2006/11/test_entry.html http://www.makingmarks.net/journal/2006/11/test_entry.html Sun, 12 Nov 2006 10:03:40 -0600
