It’s done with ebony pencils and colored pencils from some photos of Lori. Since Lori likes (or is forced to receive, I’m never sure) lots of unicorn and rainbow tchotchkes I could not resist the opportunity to use every color in the box. It made me think of “let the sun shine in” from the movie Hair.

Anyway, I think this drawing would pop a lot more with some photoshop action, but not necessarily the photoshop action I usually do which is to scan a pencil drawing and put color behind it.  I’m thinking that I should try putting some patterns or texture on some parts, and amping up the colors. Probably I could get it neater too but the main goal is to give it a more swirly psychedelic look without taking out the hand drawn lines. I should go look at some Fillmore Posters for inspiration.

If you’re in Boston, or like storytelling, or pirates, you should check out  MassMouth’s website. They archive a lot of their  storytelling on  video and audio.  And sometimes they wear pirate costumes!

Day Seven
Rae says:

Boots: Magic Shoes
Jeans: from Barney’s
Ducks Sweater vest: from Time After Time vintage store in Madison, NJ

It’s cold today, so I’ll probably throw on another sweater and perhaps a jacket before I leave the house.

Rae is in Los Angeles, Sarah is in New York

Day Six:

Rae says:

Today’s outfit I didn’t pick out myself. That is, it’s more of a uniform which I had to wear because I agreed to bartend for graduation today. I was up working until 5 AM last night, so I am also extremely tired.

T-shirt: The Gap

Black Jeans: Marshall’s

Motorcycle Boots: Magic Shoes on Bleeker Street. I got them, like, 8 years ago and have had them re-resoled three times. They’re due for another re-soling but I haven’t gotten around to it.

Day Five

Rae says:
Shoes from a discount shoe store on route 10 in NJ.

(During the same trip the shoes Rae came in with were accidentally boxed and shelved when she wasn’t looking. She found them eventually)

Shirt was a Christmas/Chanukah gift last year from my future sister-in-law, Maria
