Another New Year and another drawing of a light bulb. I did not start off thinking that I would illustrate the same object that had begun my 2011 entries, but the IF topic seemed right.
Besides the turmoil and destruction that flooding caused to my home and studio this year, I was further hampered in posting to my blog by a series of escalating computer system failures. Well, I am happy to report that my home has been repaired and I now have a new computer. All of this change had me reflecting on my preferred working method, too, so I have put aside my pen and picked up a trusty pencil. I know, it’s not a big change –but change is good, and 2012 is already looking better.

Well, Theo, i am sorry to hear about your house being destructed by the flood, I really do understand how you must have felt. But I am so happy that this new year is looking better, and starting it with the drawing of a light bulb surely is auspicious.
I’m certainly glad things are turning around for you. Floods!
And as usual, another “just right” illustration. Just enough detail in the shading of the screw cap.
Happy New Year, Theo! So happy that you’re all geared up and on board for the new year. I love the idea of starting off with the same subject matter, but in a different medium. I’ll look forward to many of your exquisite sketches!
Glad things are looking better for 2012. Your illustrations are wonderful – I especially like your teabag drawing. I always draw in black ink but have just started using a pencil again though I think I need to relearn how to draw with it!
I’m sorry to hear about all your recent challenges. Unfortunately, I think I can relate to all of them at one time in my life or another. 2012 is a new beginning and everything will be wonderful, right? Happy New Year!!!
