I need to create. Not procreate, create. I need to create something to feel useful. But I create useless things. I like to draw, make art journals, and take photos. If I can, I create stories in my photos. I have two rubber bears whom I always imagine to be on adventures and then I would create a scene in their adventures and take a photo of it. When I have images in my mind, I challenge myself to replicate them either in drawings or in photos. Then I feel satisfied and at ease. Because I produced something that day. In my ideal life, I would love to draw a picture and take a photo everyday. In my ideal life I would like to draw and/or photograph as a side job.
My drawings are in a facebook (and Instagram) account "Claricedrewsomelines". You can check out my drawings there. Nothing earth-shattering and nothing of professional techniques. Just a materialized chunk of my imagination.
My rubber bears on their adventures. The orange one is Ben, and the brown one is Tuck. Together they are called "Ben & Tuck". The first one was created when we had to stay at home because of Covid-19. This was like a PBS reminding everyone to stay home. The second one was created a few days ago. They accidentally excavated a mammoth with their simple tools.
My drawings. I always draw myself in the pictures as default and it's easily recognizable. Short hair, glasses with no eyes. I'm not thin though. I'm chubby leaning towards fat. Thin people are easier to draw that's all. Lately I'm into drawing black and white. Got inspired by 35mm negative film.
I pray some publisher will be crazy enough to compile all my Ben & Tuck adventure photos into a photo book. I can write a short one page story for each photo. Kids will like them, I think.
And I also pray some publisher will be crazy enough to compile my drawings into a book.
