it's still got a very rough surface, so it's ready to accept any medium maralena decides to use, be it paint or conte crayon or collage!
i doodles some things, made up a little story about fish, and the last set of pages i started at Outback Steakhouse when i went for a family dinner. they were much amused to see me show up with a sketchbook and a box of pens. i asked my niece to help me (Danielle) and she started a page, but got thoroughly distracted by the cheese fries. kids today! ;)
my entry on the left here was done with sigma pens: pigma micron and gelly roll glaze. i heart these pens! a couple small accents are done with other types, and i went to the evil den of evil craft supply (nasty corporate empire), and picked up opaque white, black, and a set of metallic gel ink. i need a Dick Blick nearby. it pains me to give that craptastic hole of a craft store money!
we shall speak of it no more!
so anyway, my favorite part about these pages are the blue lips. i drew the whole thing freehand in about 20 seconds (of course it took longer to color in). that's always fun. it's a little distorted, but that makes it more interesting!
oh, yeah. regular rough gesso surfaces seem to sort of clog the gel pens. suck.

Oh I am going to have a ball with these pages! I love those LIPS! These pages (all of them) are going to be so much fun to work on. I can't wait to get my hands on it. The gloss of those lips are outstanding!
I came upon your blog through blogger and I have to say that it is very intriguing. I find the art and creativity lovely. Keep it up.
Don't worry... you will get your fill of Dick Blick this summer!
