today's journal drawings

Yesterday on DRAWN! (drawn.ca) they had a great post about "Drawing in the Age of Distraction." It had some great suggestions on how to stay productive in spite of yourself (and technology). Here were some of my favorites:

Lisa Hanawalt

I recently stumbled upon an artist named Lisa Hanawalt. I immediately fell in love with her work and when I showed her stuff to Rachel, she felt the same way. Her work is funny, but doesn't rely on humor solely, it's also drawn amazingly well.

So, I decided to surprise her with an original drawing from Lisa for her birthday this year.

Who doesn't love cats dressed like they're from an 80's Michael J Fox flick? Check out Lisa's stuff here.

Brandon's best of 2008 - keep up with the hipster kiddies.

Every year Rachel and I get a nice little package in the mail from our friend Brandon Forbes. Throughout the year he makes notes on his top tracks, and for christmas sends out a 4 cd set with his 100 favorites. With the economy the way it is, he decided this year to instead post all 100 tracks (with info, album artwork and streaming audio!) on a blog. Check it out here

His list is always a great way to revisit some of best music of that year, but also a chance to get introduced to some stuff you might have missed. Do I agree with his #1 pick? Yes on the band, but I would have gone with "kids" I think.
