My Oma 01.13.10
My grandmother passed away late on tuesday night 01.12.10 I am taking a few days off . . She was an amazing woman and lived a full and beautiful life, I will always miss her.
Because I want to do this as a creative exercise, I have set it up with a few rules. I pick the word at random by flipping through the dictionary and land my finger on the page. I give myself time to think about the word through out the day(a few hours or so), but I am only allowed about an hour to draw. I can use a ruler and pencil to set up a bit of a grid, but the illustration itself must be done in pen freehand. Not only am I learning a new word and expanding my vocabulary, but I am honing my typography skills and challenging my artistic abilities.
R.I.P. Oma. The best grandma in the world.
