2008 sketchbook peepshow: To Do - To Live List..

2008 here you are.. I'm in my 45th year... this year's resolution list's theme is more than just things to do... they're things to Live... Each year i start a new Blank sketchbook to record my sketches, fantastical thoughts (I've been told i live in fantasy), along with narratives from my daily life, and sometimes, preliminaries for formal paintings... My goal for my sketchbook this year is to have it crammed with so many drawings, mini paintings, & things i tend to glue onto the pages, that it needs a rubberband to hold it closed. (so it can behave on the shelf in 2009) ... Optimistic aint i? Most things listed are positive,playful,Smart Aleck'ish', optimistic if accomplished, not necessary to most folks... (Except "COLLECT MONEY FROM PEOPLE WHO OWE YOU $$ -NOT BECAUSE YOU NEED YOU NEED THE CASH, BUT BECAUSE IT'S YOURS, AND IT'S TIME...")

This double first page is actually the illustrated image of the same XXXL black & white list i carry around with me. (at 45yrs.- i still prefer books with pictures... so there ya go) CLICK on the pic to enlarge...-karin
