Fluffoids

I think I'm going to set myself a strict daily goal of completing ONE journal page a day for a while, because I keep neglecting my onion skin journal for other things, and I now simply passionately wish to fill it up and finish it. Here are some recent spreads.

Sometimes I get a little crazy and wacky and turn this thing sideways to draw something in landscape. I don't know what it is about a horizontal canvas, but it just feels good and right. We're abandoning vertical. We despise and shun vertical.

Well, not really, not truthfully. I think a lot of it is just the endless allure of something different. I'll do one sort of thing for a while and then think... wait a minute. What if I did the opposite of this? Wow. Sounds amazing. The simple pleasure of novelty and change is eternally welcome.

I have been, as you can see, incorporating some collage elements in here once again, but in really lazy, small ways. I pasted in a handful of wrappers from individually-wrapped teabags. I tore an envelope into pieces and stuck those down. I love rubbish.

I have also been trying to be loose with it, just really drawing whatever, but I keep finding wobbly drawings that take up the whole space and use a lot of vast dark pencil the most appealing. I like the high-contrast and the intriguing, soft shapes of various fluffy animal bodies (fluffoids, if you will). More of the same, I tell myself.

As always, more dogs emerge, and they must sniff the flowers and plunge themselves into serene night skies.
