sketching on the road..

sketching on the road.., originally uploaded by artjunkgirl.

I'm on the road again this weekend. I like keeping a sketchbook in the car for those "waiting" times. I like having something to do, especially during long car rides. Anyhow, I am very inspired by an article on sketching the world around you in this month's Cloth, Paper, Scissors issue entitled, "Being here" by Robin Olsen (although I can't seem to stop sketching Suzi dolls!). BTW, as we were driving north to see my daughter, we passed through New Jersey. The convo went something like this.

Me: (waving) throughout NJ ..."Hi Suzi Blu! Did you know Suzi Blu lives in NJ"?

Bruno: (deadpan) "Alot of people live in NJ."

Me: "I know...but I still want to wave hello!"

Bruno: "Ok, Hi Suzi Blu!"

(I continue to sketch with a smile on my face)...

Thanks SuziBlu for sharing your art with us, you given me something to smile about....even through the traffic and bumpy highways of NJ!
