There are piles of old sketchbooks and artwork (see an elephant on the right?) I will scan these before I turn them into something else - would you like to see some?
There are recent sketches and some tools that are still looking for a place in the new studio space - like my fox tail brush and an arm which I am using to record process videos. I have a pile of sketchbooks to make flip-throughs!
And there is a small set of tools that I kept in my bag during the move. Between this kit and a pocket sketchbook with a ballpoint pen, I kept my drawing going despite many things shifting in all kinds of directions. Moving is not a linear or easy process but keeping my practice helped a lot!
Here is a brief description of my "Moving Kit":
A - My travel watercolor+gouache palette;
B - Bag with brushes (water brushes and some good brushes for when there is more than 2 minutes + tiny water jar and a pencil sharpener).
C - Small zipped bag with a minimal kit of my favorite materials. Having your favorite tools is like having your favorite food - a must!
So this is how July starts for me: still, some unpacking, organizing new space, trying to catch up on all the projects put on hold during the move - and drawing through all of that!
I couldn't face a move. I recently moved my art room from a tiny bedroom to a bigger bedroom and it took me months of thinking about it before I actually did it. And the tiny bedroom is still a mess!!
ReplyDeletelol well, I have to admit - I got into quite a bit of a stupor and still working through some aspects of it. but it in interesting to see all the ways I try to solve problems or avoid them or actually take action to remedy situations... :)
