451 and counting

i burn books

on cool mornings
to keep warm

flames lick the pages &
though the carcinogens
in the ink and your words
will probably kill me

i am pleased
the trees, folded
and bound to
your will and whim,
finally have their say

in smoke signals
climbing on the breeze
into the blue sky.

I just had to make a drawing. http://www.waystationone.com/

This will probably go in the new Sketchbook...

Haven't done a new background in a while, so here ya go:

Sketchbook 2012

I just signed up for the new Sketchbook Project for 2012!
I had so much fun with the last one, I thought it would be good for me to participate again. Plus this time I will have twice the time to do my drawings (maybe three times as much!) so I should be able to include more artwork. I'm thinking I may have some new contests as well, for ideas and so on.

The theme I picked this time is "Fill me with stories". Should be fun! Now if I can just find a short poem for my opening page...anyone got any suggestions?

Calling All Artists

Apparently the lovely people over at 100 Illustrations need more artists! In fact, they need 10 more artists asap! If you are interested, go see Diana over at 100 Illustrations.

Don't delay, this is a really cool project and a great way to get your work published and out there.
