World Passing By
a sneaky art drop for your inbox
Dear reader,
Sometimes I like to think of a train window as a screen with images streaking rapidly across it. Maybe a clump of trees. Or, a pole with haphazard cables. A bird buffeted by the winds. A cloud, alone. As if I am not moving, and the people around me are not moving, and the train is not moving, but the rest of the world is speeding by, over my head, under my feet, for my pleasure.
🎙️ This Monday, come see me speak at Art Tank at the Beaumont Studios in Vancouver. I will share how I turned my curious sketchbook habit into a job, and the business of being an independent artist.
✍🏼 [Saturday June 6] I am drawing + signing books at Black Bond Books in White Rock.

Ha!! This post brings me back to March of 2020 and how the windows framed my stories and my mindset! We had just moved into an old Tudor house overlooking Puget Sound. Unaware of the isolation that would follow over the next (gulp) two years, I found myself looking out through the old leaded glass windows to the world passing us by, and sketching what is saw….Container ships, weather, flowers blooming, leaves falling, seasons changing. Framing various stories depending on the light, time of day, angle of view the windows were what helped me get through the isolation. And sparked new stories and images for my work as a children’s author/illustrator. Lovely!!! Thanks for sharing!
hello, it remains me one of many ideas/phantasms which I never made nothing with, years ago... I imaginated it could be possible to create animated cartoons for the tub's walls, specially to be seen through the windows of the trains... concept to be developped and improved !!😅 perhaps a younger person will some day improve this idea ;))
