Well, no. Not from *my* Moleskin, because I do not write in Moleskines. Because, clearly, I am not as totally hip as Stephen Elliott and T. Elle Harrison. Or perhaps because I am intimidated by how neat Moleskines look, so I end up writing on my hand, or on the back of a junkmail envelope, or on my best friend's thigh. T. Elle Harrison, however, is funny, cool, and self-deprecating:
Apparently, I'm a doodler...my mother says it's something I've always done. Before I started taking my writing seriously, I thought I might be an artist. Now I just keep it in the sketch book. I also do a sort of picture collage like Nikki Magennis. I find that while I'm drawing, cutting, pasting etc, I'm more relaxed and the ideas come to me easier...more organized. Okay I lied, the next page is full of scribbles and scrabbles but when I first start thinking of a character this is one of the things I do.
I'm not published or anything but this looks like fun and I wanted to join in.
Man, T. Elle Harrison, I'm so glad you did join in. I am in awe of your art. I could trace my fingertips over that profile for hours. You rock, kid.
XXX,
Alison
I knew a girl who looked EXACTLY like this, and her name was Zahara.
ReplyDeleteI love that name Zahara. I like any name that uses uncommon letters like Z, X or U. THey seem so exotic.
