Art show update: Thanks everyone for all your good wishes. The opening was so much fun! All my best friends, family and local art buddies came, including a (formerly virtual) friend from the Everyday Matters art blogging group. Some people brought friends and neighbors, and there were a few unknown faces too. From all reports everyone had a good time, and there were quite a few “small world” connections between people who I had no idea knew each other. The show will come down March 31.
Every day I write and draw something in my AM/PM sketchbook, usually from memory — in the morning an image from my dreams and in the evening something I’ve seen during the day. This is an assortment from the past week in my Handbook Journal Co. notebook drawn with an Expresso pen which I don’t like much but for some reason am using for all these drawings.
PM (Tonight): Walking around the lake by work today at lunch the geese were acting crazy, honking at each other and wiggling their heads and flapping their wings while the pigeons and seagulls looked on. I saw some seagulls with festive polka-dotted tails.
PM: Kitties are already asleep and I should be too.
AM: View out the window (at a distance)
AM: A silly work dream and another dream about Donald Trump (watched the very bad Apprentice LA that night).

That bottom one made me laugh because I did virtually the same drawing with Alan Sugar (the Donald Trump person in our version of the show) http://julieoakley.blogspot.com/2006/04/addictive-tv.html
Great minds think alike, Jana!

Great minds think alike – the little drawing at the bottom right made me laugh as I did something similar with our equivalent programme – http://julieoakley.blogspot.com/2006/04/addictive-tv.html

Enjoyed seeing pictures of your exhibit. I was at least there virtually! Have you noticed that you remember more dreams or more material in your dreams since you’ve started sketching them?

These are just great! I recognised Donald Trump straight away – is there a new series ?

Gosh – I didn’t realise there was an American version of The Apprentice as well. I’m a devoted fan – I wonder what Alan Sugar and Donald Trump would look like if in the same room. What is about tycoons and head/facial hair?
