And now for today's entry..it was for the latest Illustration Friday topic "Plain." Kansas is plain like Vanilla...and kind of like time standing still...and it is a plains state too! It is plain, so when you live here (now it has been 3.5 years for us) you learn to develop patience and you learn the importance of travel and staying connected to the rest of the world...More entries and doodles....
My sketch books are often quite doodley - who knows what might end up next to what...baby birds teeth...jello mold...smiley octopus....sniffing dog...and that tree looks like many of the trees here in Kansas. The trees look this way here because there are so many ice storms. So, during an ice storm, many limbs break off the trees and these limbs then grow back wierdly - the limbs become big stumps with spindly, bushy twigs growing out of the tops like spider legs.
Some friends and I went roller skating this weekend - yes roller skating...it has been about 20 years since I last did that. The place we went was perfect too - carpet covered round seating areas to put your skates on, colored florescent lights and mirror balls on the ceiling and there was "boogie bouncing" everywhere. I was mesmerized. It was the best time I've had in a while.
Like a trip back in time.
Until tomorrow...
