Snails look like they have mustaches. So, ta-da, behold the snailstache. </div>

Drawing with kids can bring about a lot of silly and fun creativity.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
The little miss and I were coming up some imaginary creatures and this was our favorite - the Liuck, which she then decided to call the Liax.<br />

Some of his earlier works immediately made me think of <a href="http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=film%20noir&gbv=2&gs_l=hp.3..5j0l10.961.2184.0.2391.9.9.0.0.0.0.102.766.8j1.9.0...0.0.7q2mGuUBsXI&sa=X&oi=image_result_group" target="_blank">film noir</a>.<br />
<br />
That's how this drawing was born - thinking of a <a href="http://www.thrillingdetective.com/trivia/chandler.html" target="_blank">Raymond Chandler</a> story and using Vullo's look, I drew this using black ink only.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Looking at Vullo's exhibit in person got me so excited and motivated to try something new. There's nothing like going to a museum or gallery and looking at these pieces in person.<br />
<br />
Which artists inspire you to draw? Have you seen their works in person?i.ikedahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01658179846987510769noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266262519185931624.post-5220445150917804692012-05-15T12:05:00.001-04:002012-05-15T23:12:02.658-04:00A new beginningI like to keep things in order to some degree. I mean, can you imagine having a drawer with pencils, brushes, paints, fabric, paper, stamps, buttons, yarn... Everything thrown in together in one large container? Yeah.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That's how I was feeling about my other blog, <a href="http://noclevercraft.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">No Clever Craft</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Instead, here's a new blog focusing on illustration and photography only. Now let's hope I can keep them both going for a long time.</div>
