Two Worlds Collide

Well, seems that the creative cooking merged with creative drawing. It's nice to have concrete projects to do. Otherwise I would just keep promising myself that I'll return to my studio.

Our neighborhood Bunco group put together a cookbook and I added some illustrations. This was a tough but good return to my work as an illustrator. I learned a few things:

- I can draw decently

- I love quick, expressive watercolor

- I need practice but can do good work under pressure

- My studio set-up stinks

- My process suffers b/c of my studio set-up

- I miss drawing and need to do it more often

- The scanning technique needs tweaking (the originals are far better looking!)
