Breathing


This post is for everyone, but for Kristen especially! I saw your Sunny Spot post with your "breath" drawings and they instantly reminded me of a silkscreen t-shirt design I did several years ago. The other day, after I saw your post, I looked frantically for the original drawing, but couldn't find it and I remembered that had probably decided "what am I saving this for?" and threw it out.

So then today, while enjoying the long weekend and marveling that the heat of summer has arrived (skipping right over spring) I decided to put away my sweaters and corduroys and pull out my skirts and tank tops. AND, when I did that, I found this t-shirt I made, which I had also thought I had thrown out because I accidently washed it without setting the ink, which is why the purple is bleeding all over the place, which kind of ruined it. ANYWAY, my point is, this drawing of mine and resultant t-shirt reminds me of your drawings. Mine was inspired by a poem I came across - which I think got tossed along with the original drawing.

Okay, I can breathe now.

Greetings from Chicago!



I am in Chicago for a work trip (my first time here). I had some time to walk around on Sunday and finally got to see "the bean". It's pretty neat! It makes me think of movies where a space ship lands on a far away planet and all the aliens gather around trying to figure out what it is.
