Janeys Journey

Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here

I love Tom Lehrer and this is dedicated to Linda because she knows the lyrics and Dan because he said tsk tsk.

Poultryism

It's a calling.  No other reason for it.  Here are 2 more done with the pilot varsity fountain pen.  Neat little pen that's refillable if you're really careful and real mess if you're not.  

The little zine will have 20 paintings so I want to do maybe 40 of these to have some to choose from.

My Gym Book

Yes I have a gym book and yes I am a nerd.  I print this grid out at work and paste it weekly in my gym book and check the exercises off and mark the weights.  And this is just the gym stuff.  Not the exercises at home.  Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the gym.  In between I discovered Exercise TV on cable.  It's free.  So Tuesday and Thursday and Sunday, 1/2 hour of Exercise TV and in between, weights and more exercises for my foot. And everyday at work, once in the morning and once in the afternoon I walk the stairs.  3 story building, 3 wings, 2 staircases each wing.  I'm meeting people I haven't seen in years because they're on the other side of the building. 

Either I'm going to die of exhaustion or be another Jack Janey Lalane.

I must admit...

My new vegetarian diet aside, I still have a New Yorkers absolute dislike of pigeons. When I see more the one, I start unconsciously humming Poisoning Pigeons in the Park (Please don't tell Peta).  

I'll try to be a better person.  I promise.

Belle Invites Me

Another break from poultry.

That arm didn't turn out so good, where the thumb is - see.

Future Attractions

These are part of my next zine.  No color here because I'm hand coloring each print out.  The drawings will be printed on watercolor paper and then watercolored (you'd think I would have learned by now).  I haven't decided if I'm going to sell these yet.  I might just make enough for family and friends.  I have serious doubts about the market for a poultry zine.

Blog changes

The blog may seem odd at times, I'm trying out new designs.  It's sort of under construction without the sign.

flickr love

I searched flickr for any group with Poultry in it   The search returned 153 groups.  I searched for Chicken - 2846 groups.  I do so love Flickr!

A word of advise

I've been edging toward being a vegetarian for awhile now.  I haven't eaten beef in over 20 yrs.  Not because of any ethical reasons, I just don't like it.  It's been chicken and fish and now tofu.  So, after what is apparently a calling (drawing poultry) I think it's fish and tofu for me.  

My advise?  Don't draw what you eat, it makes it alittle difficult to swallow.
