(A few thinky thoughts before the coloring update.) On January 1st, musician Brian Eno released his ambient music album Reflection and his companion generative music app with the same name. As I type this, I'm streaming the album track on Amazon Music, listening to the 54 minute long evolving piece of music and reflecting on [...]
Out of all of my books and all of the drawings in each book, do you ever wonder how I choose which drawing to color next? So do I, lol. There's not a lot of thought or logic to it. Some days a particular title strikes me as being one that really matches my mood. [...]
Let's close out the year with an abundance of sparklies! Best wishes to all for a healthy, happy and colorful 2017. Today's coloring progress slideshow: Today's book: Nifty (A Coloring Journal) Colored with: Copic Atyou Spica sparkle markers and Sakura Gelly Roll metallic gel pens

Lots of photos today! That's what happens when I take a holiday vacation day and settle in for a nice long afternoon of coloring. There were a few times where I was starting to get concerned that the tones in this coloring were getting just a bit too dreary - but I have to admit [...]
A bit of silent holiday season blogging, listening to the scritchy scratchy sound of pencils on paper. :) Today's coloring progress slideshow: Today's book: Transcend For Crayons And Wide Tipped Markers (Angie's Gentle Mood Menders - Volume 4) Colored with: Derwent Graphitint pencils
