Did Somebody Say, “Giraffe?”

Wow… tomorrow begins the giraffe creativity experiment and I’ve been so touched by the response. Thank you for all of you who signed up!

There are just five spots left, I was able to open up a second “section” of the class, if you would still like to hop on the giraffe wagon. I can tell already that the group is a unique, self-selected group of wonderful, enthusiastic, and slightly kooky people (as no “normal” person would sign up for a class like this… just kidding!).

I’m really looking forward to this coming year. Did I mention that my son and daughter-in-law are expecting another boy in March? We are all very excited. And my youngest, Wes, is graduating from high school in June… life is busy and full and good.

My very best wishes to all of you, and I hope you have a blessed 2013!

I just wanted to say a quick hello between holidays… above is my son, Christer, and my grandson, Liam (15 months) on a cool, wet walk Christmas Day. We had a wonderful time with family and hope yours was happy, too!

Here is Christi, my daughter-in-law, with the little cutie pie.

I’m really looking forward to 2013… are you? Of course I have the big Year of the Giraffe experiment starting next Tuesday, and that’s super exciting (don’t worry, if you can’t join us for the full class, there will be other, peripheral, opportunities to participate in the experiment later in the year!).

And the Draw! class should be really fun, too. For the first time I’ll have all of the drawing exercises documented in video in one place. In addition, we will be drawing the figure, which I have found so helpful in my own drawing practice. If you want to draw, this might be a fun class to get you started this New Year! Class begins January 10, 2013.

In any case, I’ll see you soon!

Two New Online Classes! Registration Open

I’ve been working hard developing TWO new online classes!

The first one, “Draw! 21 Days Towards Freeing Your Creative Self” is a three-week, video-based class for everyone — all levels encouraged and welcome. Click HERE for all the details for “Draw!”

The second one is called “Year of the Giraffe” and is a long-term, group project exploring a single subject matter and culminating in a ‘zine.

Take this class if you:

• Want to practice your drawing, painting, and observation skills.
• Paper maché is something you’d like to make time for again.
• Think giraffes are one of the coolest creatures ever.
• Don’t necessarily care about giraffes at all, but want to learn to think more creatively in general.
• Want to participate in a year-long group project.
