Rodeo Weekend
So I took Raiden to the rodeo this weekend. That was our first and last visit. We had fun seeing the animals and cowboys, however I forgot how they treat the animals to get them to buck and how much of a men's club it is.

a-Drawing-a-Day, Day 21: Super Raiden
Raiden, my son, saw my CD cover for Marvin Gaye's Super Hits and asked me to draw a picture like that, but of him as the super hero, and me as the damsel in distress. This is what I made:

a-Drawing-a-Day, Day 18: Mary Poppins?
These are actually all inspired by Mary Poppins, the movie and the live musical I just saw at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles.

Me and My Son, Raiden
So I realized I haven't posted about my son and I for a long time, and I want this blog to be about my art and my life as a single mom. So here are some pictures from yesterday. We started the day off swimming, then practiced our spelling, and ended the day at Raiden's first live musical, Mary Poppins!

a-Drawing-a-Day, Day 16: Dinosaur and Bad Guys Fighting
I have a substitute artist today - my son, Raiden, drew this today. We went to his first play today, Mary Poppins. He actually fell asleep in my arms the 2nd half, but loved the whole thing. It was so cool taking him to his first play! I can't even describe it. I am just too warn out to draw tonight, especially after getting a really awful kink in my neck when taking him upstairs to bed, so I am stealing a drawing from Raiden that he did earlier today.

a-Drawing-a-Day, Day 13: Lizard Country, part 2
I did some more work on my Lizard Country landscape. Sun or no sun? I can't decide yet… I like the simplicity of the design without the sun, but it just feels like it needs a hot sun in there...

a-Drawing-a-Day, Day 11
Here is a rough visual idea for a film I want to make about a day of riding my bike with my son, Raiden:

Background Changes
I made some revisions to my background. I wanted to make the cliff seem higher so I lowered the valley of trees. I also wanted to make the scene more peaceful so I added a curvilinear rhythm in the far mountain/tree mass as opposed to the original, more angular one, and I lightened the sky. I also added trees fading in the distance to give a stronger illusion of depth and endless expanse of trees. There will be animation in the sky to show the character that in order to preserve nature you need to use laws.
Here is the later version:

a-Drawing-a-Day, Day 10: My New Look
So for those of you who have seen me in a while, I believe I have evolved quite a bit the past 3 years. This is what I have been looking like this summer:
