where san francisco county jail was a gluttony of paper, santa clara county jail's medium security dorms had almost no paper or writing utensils for inmates. you got one 3-inch long pencil every week and paper has to be bought from 'commissary'.
l had no money the entire time l was in jail. since there was little paper to be had, l erased and rewrote on this page many times during April and May organizing my thoughts.

This is a currently in print book that I have shared a few excerpts. "Frank Lloyd Wright For Kids; His Life and Ideas" with 21 Activities for ages 8 and up. Copyright 1994 by author Kathleen Thorne-Thomsen. Published by Chicago Review Press.
I always like to know a bit about the contents before I order a book, and hopefully this will give you an idea. With many photos as well as delightful illustrations by Jennifer Koury.
This is the inside of the card I made for David. All "coupons" are redeemable for up to a year, though I don't think David will wait that long :)
This design comes from a wall rug in my parents house that my mother made in the 70s. I've obviously seen it for many years, but now that I've got my Zentangle eyes tuned in, it screamed Zentangle to me. It's lovely to be able to reinvent this design and I feel like I could do a few more versions of it because the spaces are so interesting.
MILANO CENTRALE
I didn't draw the ridiculous ubiquitous screens
That just add noise and confusion to the chaos
I omitted drawing the non-existent waiting room
And the passengers standing around blocking the hall
As they stare at the misplaced departure boards
Nor the important impossibly-hard-to find toilets
And of course the missed connections are missing
As are all the numerous unexplained delays
Instead I focussed on the bold curved lines of the roof
I drew the striking structure's vastness and loftiness
I hinted at a platform and the carriage of a waiting train

MILANO CENTRALE
Non ho disegnato i ridicoli schermi onnipresenti
Che aggiungono solo rumore e confusione al caos
Ho omesso di disegnare la sala d'attesa inesistente
E i passeggeri che stanno in piedi bloccando la sala
Mentre fissano i tabelloni delle partenza fuori posto
Né gli importanti gabinetti così difficili da trovare
E ovviamente mancano le connessioni mancate
Come anche tutti i numerosi ritardi non spiegati
Invece mi sono concentrato sulle linee curve e audaci del tetto
Ho disegnato la vastità e l'altezza della singolare struttura
Ho accennato una binario e il vagone di un treno in attesa

MILANO CENTRALE
Ich zeichnete nicht die lächerlichen allgegenwärtigen Bildschirme
Das fügt dem Chaos nur Lärm und Verwirrung hinzu
Ich habe das Zeichnen des nicht vorhandenen Warteraums ausgelassen
Und auch die Passagiere die herumstanden und die Halle blockierten
Als sie die falsch plazierte Abfahrtstafel anstarren
Noch die wichtigen, unglaublich schwer zu findenden Toiletten
Und natürlich fehlen die verpassten Verbindungen
Wie auch die zahlreichen ungeklärten Verspätungen
Stattdessen konzentrierte ich mich auf die kühnen geschwungenen Linien des Daches
Ich zeichnete die weite Erhabenheit der auffallenden Struktur
Ich deutete auf eine Plattform und den Waggon eines wartenden Zuges hin

"...I go lie down where the Wood Drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great Heron feeds.
I come into the peace of Wild Things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars, waiting with their light.
For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and I am free." - Wendell Berry, 'The Peace of Wild Things.

Blue ink with Lamy Safari pen into my AMI ART watercolour sketchbook memory (14,1x19,2 cm, 180 g/m2)
Birthday card for my better half. This is a sketch of him with his blackberry which is never far away.
A collection of my Mum's shoes. I gave this to her for her birthday. She cried. I think this was a good thing?
the jail decided that the underwear l tore up was worth 20 hours of work. my usual rate is ~$100/h, that's $2000.
'Bob Barker' inmate underpants are all made in Bangladesh, btw.
just a little continuous line drawing (no lifting the pen from the paper!) from last night. it's a little distorted from lying in bed with my head on one arm, drawing with the other hand.
and that's part of what makes it look neat.
I wanted to avoid grids today and have some natural connectivity between my tangles, so I've worked solely with curved tangles here. I've been getting so much inspiration from the Zentangle Pool that I'm getting overwhelmed with new ideas!
