Longing

Sometimes, when I'm procrastinating, I go to cabinporn.com and long for the days of owning a secret beautiful cabin. 

Drawn the Road Again

This blog makes me want to adventure to the west with my man, a sketch pad, water colors, and a camera. I know it'll happen soon enough. 

Groundwork Somerville's Green Team

These teenagers, ages 14-19, live in Somerville and work at Groundwork. As people, they are inspiring, curious, and thoughtful. Whenever we bike around to the schoolyards to tend to our gardens and I see them communicating and working together to achieve a shared vision of food security in Somerville, my mind explodes with optimism and possibility. Thanks Green Team!

Leather

Another new medium for me: Leather! Trying to create the perfect functioning leather tote. Durable and chic. 

Pedal Power

Bike powered water pumps!

I've used this blog to highlight works of art that inspire in hopes to eventually post my own work. Truth is, no matter how much I talk about posting my own drawings it's not going to happen anytime soon because my energies are focused elsewhere. Mainly on sustainable design and education. So, in lieu of my own drawings, I'll post videos of the people I work with and designs that could be adopted for use on the urban farm I work on. Still a blog about inspiring works of art (and will continue to post illustrations and other musings) just a different direction. 

Winter

For a farmer, winter is the resting period. This winter, while resting, I'd like to cultivate the kind of calm I get from looking at these images. 

Asymmetrical Patterns

Soooo...if you take colorful images of the same or similar thing and compile them onto one canvas, you can pretty much come up with something pleasing to the eye. Found these here.
