Artist Trading Cards for December 15, 2012

So here are the fronts of the little booklet I made of the "Transitions" poem. I made a chop using Lumina Air Dry Polymer Clay. Still in the learning curve but I liked how they turned out. I used some favorite Daniel Smith watercolors: Moonglow, Rich Green Gold, and Quinacridone Burnt Orange.

Gary Panter's Drawing Tips

Check out the great website, unbored.net. The Oct. 1, 2012, posting has a list of drawing tips from the underground comic artist, Gary Panter, still going strong and giving back. Note to Self: I've also added the tips to my links of interest so that when this Post gets buried, you will be able to find it again.

Artists in Transition: December 2012

Transitions

1
coming full circle
unfolding
gathering
standing still

2
daring to breathe
in between
thoughts
and
spaces

3
during the silence
of night
juxtaposed
memories

4
traveling light
no trains
to catch
nothing
to do

5
dating the page
pen poised
on the edge
of second sight

6
exploring
the colors
of age.

Sapan Rinpoche, Ven. Lama Ngawang Kunga Thupten Gyaltsen

In celebration of the Transition of Kunga, who so loved Lyons, which he called "The Jewel of the Front Range."

The artist Soror S.L. dedicates the work, "Jewels within the Tree of Life: Da'ath Points and Fields of Influence."
