You blog like a girl » illustration http://blog.ninamiller.us Nina from the block, yo.

So one way that I try to find a path through this is to break a rule. My brain feels like it is limited by whatever is happening in my life, following processes and proprieties that are inevitable parts of living life. By breaking a rule, I hope to shake it back up, letting an open mind and open heart drive me to something more in my work.

So what rule to break? Probably nothing that will cause permanent damage. Hopefully something that is exciting. I love to make things, so an added bonus would be to have something to hang around for a while, to remind me. Enter a fairly boring Ikea hand-me-down and a Sharpie. And the resonating voices in my head to only draw on paper.

socks, originally uploaded by Nin(j)a.

I’m wearing socks for the first time in months, because I’m in denial that our summer lasts through October. It will be 106 degrees today here in Tempe, Arizona…
Most days I manage.
Today, I’m wearing socks and making wishes.

We pick a word every month and illustrate it as we see fit.

Thought I would combine my interests and illustrate with a needle.
