Bad Poetry
Many, many years ago I used to have fun writing the silliest, worst poems I could craft. Many study hall hours in high school and unproductive hours at work were spent jotting down intentionally bad prose/poetry. I discovered this little gem a few days ago in an old folder and thought it deserved to be the subject of today's "Quick Sketch." Enjoy!
I'm pretty sure I live in the most migraine-inducing place in the world.
Another major weather system rolling across the Rockies means another major migraine system rolling across my skull.

Dear Floor.... (A poem by my 8 year old).
Make a little birdhouse in your soul.
(Bonus points if you know where that line comes from...!)
Just Another Spring Blizzard.
The joys of living in Colorado. Seventy, sunny and sandals yesterday...blustery, blizzard and boots today!
Quick Draw: Curious
It has been consistently unseasonably warm here in beautiful BoCo. The daffodils and crocuses are up and the buds are already popping out on the trees. Spring feels tantalizingly close...so much so that kids and critters alike have Spring Fever. I might have a touch of it myself. Of course being Colorado, winter will be snarky and hit us hard in April or May but for now I'm going to pretend Spring is here to stay.

Sneak Peak... The Fisherman & His Wife
My apologies for the sporadic posting dear blog reader(s). I've been under the weather off and on since the holidays and my productivity has taken a wee beating. Yarghhhh. On a happier note, I have begun a new personal project this year. I am illustrating scenes from lesser known classic fairytales. Oh sure, EVERYONE has heard of Cinderella and Snow White (Thanks Walt!) but have you ever heard of Hurleburlebutz? Or The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage? There are so many deliciously odd and borderline creepy fairy tales just waiting to be discovered and I can't wait to put my spin on them!
Stay tuned...
Just some random sketches to prove I'm still here!
Bring on the New Year!!!
I've never been much of a New Year's fan. (For some reason I have always found it terribly depressing—even as a child it made me sad). So this year I am determined to celebrate the coming of 2016 with lots of color. May 2016 be one of peace, health and happiness for all.
Merry Christmas!!!
I hope you celebrate accordingly. :)

Admit it...it's punny.
Quick Draw: Real things said by my child...
My son had "safety day" at school yesterday. He kindly told the police officer "I volunteer to be tasered!!" The police officer politely thanked him for volunteering but said there would be no taser live taser demonstrations today (or ever) thankyouverymuch.
Another mass shooting. Enough is enough.
“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
