Feeling a little nostalgic today, my last day of a 34-year career. Plus, new babies are on my mind so here is a re-posting of my drawing, Buddha-esque Baby...Does he look serene and wiser than his year? Still working on my entry for Sketchbook 2012 Project and happily I found out (thanks, Caitlin!) that my sketchbook isn't due until the end of April (because I signed up after November 2, 2011)

Zounds! My drawing Spooky Fairy Night takes all the cake crumbs as Secret Moon Art's top ranking most-viewed image ever. Published here November 2009, almost 900 peeks have accrued for what really is a simple drawing of white on black.

318 Silvery Tree Path is a fairly recent drawing inspired by the first children's dummy book I ever created called Silvery Tree Path. Fairies were not supposed to show up in my drawings back then for they weren't consciously invited, yet pink fairies appeared anyway which is a typical happening when you draw on black paper!You know, there's something about black paper that I've always liked.

Yes, Moonrise at the Crossroads has been published here before and seems to show up in quite a few google searches. But since it's a favorite drawing of mine (even though I usually lean toward full color rather than black and white), I'm posting it now in honor of Autumn Equinox 2010 and the lovely Full Moon of last evening!Plus, since Halloween is almost upon us I am reminded that this image

Here's a semi-completed close-up of my newest botanical drawing Creosote Blooming in Moonbeams drawn with my favorite oil and watercolour pencils on paper...moonbeams complimentary. If you can tell from this cropped little tidbit of an image, the style is my oft-used blend of Virgo-botanical and Pisces-visionary.But just to be sure, why not mosey over and snag the fuller and finished version of

Ceres and Pallas, a drawing by Jude Cowell. So if I'm the Ceres in the picture, then Maya is obviously my curly bop daughter.And I like how Maya discovered not long ago that she's meant to be a yarn spinner and dyer which is one of the many talents of the Pallas archetype along with excellent patterning abilities...yep, that's my fiberista daughter!

Have you seen this, one of my first-ever attempts at creating an Art Film Short, Come Home which premiered online in 2007 as I began feeling strongly the rays of dissolving Neptune upon America's natal Moon in Aquarius.

How do you like my new Time Capsule Art Cube with 6 of my drawings from ye olde 1996? That was for me a year of a Jupiter Return, or Reward Cycle, as Noel Tyl terms it. Of course, we all have returns of Jupiter to its natal position at our births but it takes about 12 years for the cycle to start and complete. Therefore, the end of one Jupiter cycle is the beginning of the next...the end is in

Here's a close-up of my drawing, Purple trillium and yes, I know trillium usually grow in clumps but I wanted my drawing to feature the little fellow in his own cosmically inspired portrait...fairy visitor is complimentary!This drawing displays my usual and favorite artistic blend of real (flower) with imaginary (fairy and scenery) so if you speak astrologese, you'll know it's a Saturn/Neptune

Funny, but Nine Leaves was the working title of this drawing which eventually morphed into a completed image that you may view if you like and are 17+ of age. Not that its finished version, titled Twyla's Toilette, is racy in nature, but you just may encounter an Adult Content Warning from Blogger due to the sassier images in the Cosmic Persona Designs gallery...but it's all artsy drawings, no

Ballet Collage, completed in 1991, is here copied, scanned, and published for you in black & white. The original collage (paper) is larger than my current scanner bed so scanning a copy of it is as good as it gets!One thing I enjoy about paper collages (running across old ones in particular) is that they can function later on as a small sort of Time Capsule for the societal concerns and topics of
