I am a Moleskine fanatic. My shelves and my purse are completely filled with finished and unfinished books. My favorite Moleskines include the large 100 page sketchbook and the watercolor books.

My work sometimes leans to haunting innocence - - - I love that simplicity can reveal so much emotion. I always start with my Faber-Castell pencil and then I ink using a Sakura pen.

When traveling, I love to add local images into my Moleskines - - - grab every single local paper, advertisement, and pamphlet and cut it for your use. I only trust the Judikins cts11 scissors and office depot acid-free glue sticks.

excerpts from my moleskine diary of arizona

it was a quick flight and we arrived in phoenix. our breakfast burrito breakfast came with a fortune cookie: "get ready to do something daring"

the roads were long and barren. we saw camel back mountain and a lot of cacti on our way to scottsdale.

we went to the suns game in pheonix. my favorite player was nash. i thought l.a. was just a bunch of thugs.

we stopped for lunch at king's fish house.

we headed back to the hotel and i took a long dip in the jacuzzi under the starry skies.

drinks at the stratosphere

i was kicking and screaming when i got the word that we were going to vegas. then, when i got the word we had to go to the stratosphere i became an untamed banshee. well.... my, my it was quite a lovely surprise. clean smooth bar with a delightful staff. the view? unbelievable. it was incredibly majestic.

we had a pina colada, irish cream coffee, and a kioki (kaluah and brandy - also the waitresses favorite). they were perfect.
