A free for all for drawers, scrawlers and illustratin' folk! No theme! Could it be that easy? </b></span><br />
<br />
Post what you have and post proudly--often. At the last SEMI (Southeast Michigan Illustrator) group meeting, we attendees discussed the purpose and use of this Scribbler site was a warmish topic.<br />
<i>"I would use it more if there was no theme, no monthly challenge," said Mr.---.</i> How true. Such food for thought. It has been difficult to come up with themes that are as diverse as our group's interests and mediums.<br />
<br />
So, here it is illustrators. You draw you post it. Now isn't that nice and isn't that easy? If you slap the finishing touches on your art I want to see it--<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">and so does everyone else!</span></b> We illustrators are the first to applaud the efforts and creativity of our fellow drawing folk. So let us applaud, let us<span style="color: red;"> <b>celebrate</b>.</span><br />
<br />
Let us post our art--whatever you have. It is a FREE for all. <span style="color: red;"><b>No deadline--no stress--JUST ART for fun and applause!</b></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">Happy 2013--May it be the year of endless possibility!!!</span></b><br />

<br />
As I sit in my decoratively lit studio to work on illustrations and gaze out at the pines on the hill below I wonder about the year ahead. Right now the days are filled with rain, ice and snow and football. Soon relatives, festivities, food and fun will fill the days and tear us away from our silence and solitude of studio time. A good necessary thing to do from time to time.<br />
<br />
What are your winter wonders? Take time and enjoy the season!<br />

Here are my color sketches for a mural that I will be working on for the Pinckney Community Public Library later this year. It will be 27' feet long and wrap around the bookshelf tops.

My husband and I took a trip to Utah over the summer. We visited Zion, Bryce Canyon, Escalante, and Capitol Reef. Unfortunately, we didn't realize until we got there that it was also flash flood season! This drawing is based on a photograph taken while hiking in Escalante. We were searching for Spooky slot canyon, but somehow took a wrong turn and ended up in the dry fork canyon. Most of the lizards we saw on the trip were a dull, brown color, but this one was as red as the rock it perched on. We almost missed it! We were amazed at its ability to climb walls. <br />
<br />
I also tried out a new medium for this sketch. I applied a watercolor wash over the pencil drawing and then experimented with my new watercolor pencils. I'm hooked on them! <br />

<br />
Ah, Memories! Remember when:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>your teacher told your class to write an essay on the first day of school of what you did last summer?</li>
<li>you had time to sit and read a book under a tree and sip lemonade?</li>
<li>you last built a fort in the local woods and "lived" off the land?</li>
<li>you last picked up a brush or pencil and drew for the <i>fun</i> of it?</li>
<li>you took a day off to simply be and play?</li>
<li>you spent a whole, entire day <i>without</i> using a cell phone, checking the internet or fiddling with other electrical devices--now that's <i>really</i> roughing it?</li>
</ul>Every summer, I always hunt and gather ideas and images and fill my sketchbooks for autumn and winter projects. This capturing of movement, color, sight, smell and sound in images help jog my memory later and bring me back to that summery moment. So by the time fall arrives, I am ready to hit the drawing board.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The term the Dog Days of summer has roots in ancient Greece, and it refers to the months of July and August in the Northern Hemisphere. The star Siruis, also known as the Dog Star, is found in the constellation Canis Major (Orion the Hunter's faithful hunting dog). It is the brightest star in the sky, second only to the sun. It was believed that the appearance of Sirius in the sky at sunrise during July and August added to the heat of the day, hence the Dog Days were the hottest days of the year. :-)</div><br />

<br />
Congrats to Bradley Cooper on his <strong>S.C.B.W.I. Summer S.H.I.N.E</strong>. illustration mentorship win with Wendy Anderson Halperin. It sounded like a fun time, but I was too busy with my new book to go see for myself. Which brings me to there are so many good, busy and FUN things happening this month. Fourth of July, picnics, fireworks, vacations, booksignings, festivals and more. So let's share it with others.<br />
<br />
This month's theme is <strong>Summer Vacation Fun</strong>: Amusement Parks, Carnivals, Comic Events, Hot Air Balloon Festivals, Art Shows, Fish Boils (ew--gross, but Michigan has them) and more. OK, you get the idea. Take us on vacation! Take us on a colorful, summery get-away complete with popcorn, watermelon, balloons and ice cream!<br />
<br />
Take time to enjoy and experience July!<br />

</tbody></table>School is almost out and it's time for <strong>Summer Reading Fun</strong>! Remember all the great books you read as a kid when school let out? Far-off lands, animal adventure, thrillers and chillers. What <strong><em>summer reading fun</em></strong> art or cover can you come up with? <br />
<br />
While you're at it, don't forget to pamper yourself and feed your artistic inner child. Get out and participate in the Michigan State Park's Park & Read Program. Get out and read a good book under a grand tree in a hammock! <a href="http://www.michigan.gov/dnr">www.michigan.gov/dnr</a> <br />
<br />
Check out your local library for volunteer reading days or used book sales. Head on down, up, or over to your local Indie book store for a book and booksigning. Mark your calendar now to visit the Kids Read Comics event at the Ann Arbor District Library on July 7th & 8th. <br />
<br />
Get inspired, get illustrating and get into <strong>Summer Reading</strong>!<br />
