Sketch done on my iPad. I always hated jump ropes. Day #6 of my thing-a-day series for 2012.

Sketch of a dragon
Thing-a-day #4. This was for a project I was working on that went up in smoke (hardy-har-har).

Painting of Grandma RoLayne
A painting I did for my parents Christmas present. It’s of my grandmother, a graceful and beautiful woman who I miss dearly. Here it is shown hanging in my parents’ entryway.
Thing-a-day post number three! Whoo-hoo! I’m on a roll!

Ka-ching!
To update you all on the Do the Write Thing For Nashville auction, my item was sold for $150. While no homes will be rebuilt on my contribution alone, the lovely ladies who organized the auctions have raised nearly $75,000 to benefit the Community Foundation in Nashville.
Bravo! That is a hunk of change. I’m blown away at people’s generosity and, while I’m jealous I didn’t get to have dinner with Miss Snark, I’m pleased as pickles that I was able to contribute something.
I’ll be busy this week (and the next few months) working on a proposal for a children’s book. I have around a hundred or so pages that I need to sketch out so, needless to say, I shall be busy. But it’s a good busy.
I’ll keep you updated! There’s lots of exciting stuff coming down the pipe that I can’t talk about yet, (squints eyes suspiciously) but I will soon enough.
Bonus sketches:
A sketch of my son while he was in the hospital. I’ve found that sketches seem to have greater memory permanence than photos. If I snap a picture, it could languish in iPhoto for years. But if I sketch it, create a physical impression of a moment, it makes that memory more solid than any photo could. I can still see his sad little face and pouty bottom lip as he struggled to play with Grandma’s iPod with one hand tangled with tubes.

Sporadic sketch posting.
I have a huge backlog of sketches waiting eagerly to be unleashed on the world. To keep myself blogging more often, I’ll be posting one or two a few times a week. This one is from a morning commute on the FrontRunner train with a few faces from church sprinkled throughout.
Aside from landing the worlds bestest agent, I’m also neck-deep in a proposal for a large mural. I’m on a design team that was chosen as a finalist for 6×24 foot mural to be installed at a new branch of USU in Vernal, Utah. I can’t post any images yet, but let me tell you, it’s going to be awesome.
