Ohio

Cleveland airport Sunday night.

What a week! I just arrived home early this morning from Sandusky, Ohio where I attended the annual ISCA (International Society of Caricature Artists) convention. I am exhausted but still vibrating with inspiration of being around such unbelievable talent for the last 7 days. I can't deny that its also about the energy of being around people that you really connect with.

I spent 1o hours in airports and on planes yesterday and since I resolved in Sandusky to start sketching more, I started a new sketchbook...
I already can't wait till next year...

Express your self...

Life is just so much fun.

"We can know nothing about what is outside us if we overlook ourselves," he thinks now. "The universe is the mirror in which we can contemplate only what we have learned to know in ourselves"

~Italo Calvino's Mr. Palomar

Even the fear of death is nothing compared to
the fear of not having lived authentically and fully.

~Frances Moore Lappe,

"The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience"

~ Emily Dickinson

I'm silently restless

because unfortunately

no words feel comfortable

being captured

between thought and revelation.

The best part of my

crazy busy,
task filled,
responsibility saturated
day
was finding this written
on a scrap piece of paper in the kitchen tonight...
I want a mango tree...
