I made this “Thanks for the add” MySpace graphic for my bestest friend. She’s a school counselor and sponsors a high school chapter of PeaceJam. I’m not totally sure what PeaceJam is (too ADHD to read whole website), but I sure do wish they’d had a chapter at the shitty redneck high school I went to. I’m sure if she’s in charge of it, it’s freaking awesome.

She has recently created a MySpace profile for her chapter here.

So, Thing-A-Dayers, if you’re on MySpace, go add them, and you’ll get one of these posted on your very own MySpace profile:

You know you want one!

Now, more about that friend. She signed up for Thing-A-Day, and hasn’t posted a thing since, like, day 3. So everyone click here and go bug her and tell her she needs to post because T-A-D isn’t as fun without her!

thinking about peace. paz. here is a lil brass fish i picked up long long time ago. so i got some of those noodles (again)  from the 60s - (sand). got moonstone (clouds) and these others remind of the sea & sky and the fishy…peace peace

Feliz Super Mardi Gras a todo mundo!

I haven’t drawn anything in years, so I bought some brush markers today and sat down to meditate on the theme of War. I couldn’t think about war without considering peace as well as my own attention to finding peace within and the loving kindness that wishes peace to all living things. The result was this rough drawing of the Buddha. It’s no masterpiece, but it brought me peace to create it nonetheless.

Sometimes life gets hectic. You just got to breathe and think of a word that will calm you down. For me that word is “peace”. For this second day of Thing-a-day I worked with my mantra because I was getting a bit edgy about what life may or may not have in store for me. Watercolor, paper, and ink… such fun mediums. Drawing the side doodles I was thinking of all the mingled thoughts and unknows and the power peace is making things clear, like a sky for birds to fly.  xoxo Becca 

For the first day of Thing-a-Day I decided to work with two mediums that I have been trying to master. First off I have been doing yoga for about three months and I am so ready to do this pose– Bakasana Pose (Crane). It is a balancing pose where you are using your arm strength and balance to come into this pose. Goodness, it is so fun to just try. I used illustrator to make this drawing, also something I have been trying to master. If you have any tips on either of these please feel free to share!xoxoBeccaa
