- Here is a humble offering of pictures and punchy wordlets. I am a mother of one little girl. There is no more wordlumber, no more sitting on the hill contemplating, a lot more stepping on lego. I still think I'm quite good at drawing though

Drawings of babies are rarely this enjoyable.
cool stuff in ur blog:) cheers!
You may guess from the expressions that my baby gets a bit bored when I try to draw her. Some of them are from memory.
Newborns: the place where cute, funny and monstrous collide. Wonderful to see you embracing it.
(And with brushpen no less--C.C., you're in the U.K., right? Do you know Muji makes the best cheap-o, 3 Euro brushpen? It's what I use--I get a pack sent over once a year--they're great! Cheap enough that I don't worry about flaming through them.)
As Charles II used to say, "Cheers!"
Do you have a link to those Muji brush pens?? I think I remember seeing you writing about them before, and never did find them.
I'm using a pentel one, was a bit expensive, cartridges are £4 for three or something. But I love having multiple pens.
Brush pen is compulsive every time one revisits it.
Quite effective info, lots of thanks for the article.
