Some recent eggs

I posted one of these on facebook a week or so ago, but finally got around to putting together the whole set. These are before and after shots of some egg drawings I did on six eggs that some friends gave me, fresh from their chickens, late in May. These, of course, are a revisitation of the egg drawings I began in 2011. I don’t draw on eggs too often anymore, but since I knew these chickens, the inclination proved irresistible. I think when I used to do these more regularly, I didn’t take the before shot. I like the contrast, but of course, the project was really all about the cracked version – which, I think, these photos show, is always the more interesting of the two versions.
Oh, I should mention, there are 10 sets here, that’s because these are photos from two sides each of five eggs. There were, as mentioned above, six eggs in the set, but one of them totally exploded when I cracked it and the shell was beyond repair – all the king’s horses and all the king’s men, you know.

Hello Summer

Time.

Summer’s here and I’m embarking on a ridiculously ambitious few months. I’ve compiled a ridiculously ambitious to-do list and now it’s just a matter of reassessing and seeing what/how much I can realistically(ish) accompl(ish). I’ll keep you posted.

In the meantime, here are a handful of (*edit 2020-0926 – ok, two) iPad drawings.

More to come.

In Time.

*Speaking of time – this is a recreation of a post made on June 10th, 2015. It’s now September 26th, 2020 and I’m rebuilding my site. The previous blog has been lost, but I’m referring to the record of it on The Internet Archive, and I see that I included an iPad drawing I can’t locate named: 2015-04-04-04_50_48-0000a.jpg, plus a couple others that I’ve found, but am just not bothering to reupload – these two are the best of the ones I can find.

*This is the earliest blog post that the internet archive saved – I might have some older posts from a different blog, but this one, which began sometime in 2014 is missing some things – not even sure what they would be, but I know there were earlier posts – so that’s too bad, but unavoidable – so it goes…
