meteor toy camera, pencil drawing

meteor camera, drawing

Here is my finished pencil drawing of the meteor toy camera that I featured in the short video in my previous post. This is the fifth addition to the Sketchbook Project 2012.  I'll be digging through my Father's old camera collection again to see what I might draw next.  

I'm planning to include 15 drawings and filling the other pages with text. This time I'm not sending my originals, but copies instead;  these books stay in Brooklyn Art Library's permanent collection.

My Mother's fridge is layered with tidbits and magnets - an abridged history of events through the years.   I plan to add a drawing or photo collage of those to this sketchbook of collections.

Wishing everyone a good week. Also keeping Norway in my thoughts as I have friends there.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
