I've been very busy lately and haven't taken the time to post. Every day is busy for me with having a baby, but the last few days have been particularly busy.
Saturday I went to Surrey Public Library's grand opening Ceremony. It was nice but very crowded. Not the time to check out books but I did manage to check out a couple of good books.
Sunday I went to Word on the Street, a book and magazine festival, in Downtown Vancouver. It was a horrid windy/rainy day. It was cold, and I'm afraid some of the books and magazine's didn't make it. Luckily I saved a stray picture book from a fate worse than book death (no, I don't know what that means, but it sounded good). There is a lot of fun things to buy there. My favorite part is buying the book bag for $20 and filling it as much as I can stand to carry-- something that's almost impossible to do in the pouring rain. I have a ton of magazine samples now, many of which I can use to send submissions to later! I was lucky that my son slept through most of the event in his stroller. My husband also had an especially good time because he met up with three friends he hasn't spoke to in a long time.
I've not been idle during my non-posting days. I've done sketches for a couple of paintings I'll be finishing in the near future. I'm sorry about the poor quality of the scans. I promise better quality in the finished pieces!
Edit: Just wanted to add a quick note about the quality of these drawings. These drawings were done very lightly because they will be painted later. Being so light in colour it was hard for even my photo editing software to give a decent contrast to these drawings. It also doesn't help that I have a cheap scanner.
