the bumblebee spree } the el adly family
Posted on October 25, 2013 5 Comments
A few days ago I was watering my plants and made a nice little discovery. It wasn’t a global discovery, as glue had already been invented. But I found that with just water and tracing paper, I could easily create a physical bond between my girls and flesh-and-blood humans. I tested the first ‘prototype’ on […]
working on a sunny thursday morning

My little cousin was on the plane with me a couple of nights ago. She saw my sketchbook and asked me, ‘Do you draw every day?’ I immediately said, ‘Yes’. Without even thinking. Even though I hadn’t drawn a thing is days. Was that a lie? Or just circumstances which kept me from what I […]

I have become obsessed with scraps. There are scraps everywhere in my home and on my person (love that, my person). I have become quite brutal with these watercolor, collage, pen and ink postcards that I feel I must check myself and take a break. But I’ve been working so fervently and ferociously, and the […]

When I started the video Lub-Dub, I decided to use tracing paper which I thought would be both versatile and practical (since I don’t use proper animation software). I also love the fierce crinkle, especially after being heavily sketched on (I did suffer not a paper scratch, but a vicious paper stab-never crumple up heavy […]

When I work, I sometimes like to fantasize that the piece I’m drawing, painting or collaging was somehow found during an archeological dig or the excavation of a thousand year old church or accidentally under a mound of volcanic ash. I don’t know why I’m so obsessed with antiquities and all things with a history. […]

I fought the law and the law won. I also ate the cookie in the cookie jar.
My Second Dream|Friday May 21

I love three things: I love tracing paper, I love graph paper, and I love my scanner. You can imagine my delight when I found a pad of tracing graph paper by my scanner! What fun I had with my new dream this morning.
Black Sketchbook|Boxes on the Mind
Posted on April 2, 2010 12 Comments
I love boxes, I love chairs, and I love women. Ok, that last bit didn’t sound quite right although it’s true. I DO love women. I love drawing and painting them, I love their wide array of emotions and complexities, and I love the fact that I am a woman. This is one of those […]
