being messy . . .


I was adding a bit of paint to Wednesday's sketch . . . and promptly smeared the bit of red paint on the paper cup. Had forgotten it as I was working on the logo text on the far right. Oops!

Sometimes I try to replicate company logos and lettering for the discipline. This is also a favorite stop for us when in Brenham --- creative sandwiches, soups, quiche, and salads! Oh, and also homemade pie. This time we both had something they call sawdust pie. Fitting for Bill as he works on a shelving unit in his wood shop.

  1. So what IS sawdust pie?? What a wonderful sketch, and oh yes I managed to get my hand in my ink three times last night... :(

  2. This is someone's post of the version from Must Be Heaven (lots of recipes online) but ours this week was a bit different --- depends on who's making it that day I guess. Ours had banana underneath the rest of it. And this time it wasn't as good as one we tried a few months ago.

  5. I copy company logos, too, when I find their font selection and layout eye catching. I can see why you liked this one, too. That style of salt shaker is absolutely timeless. Great journal entry.

  6. I would love to sketch their logo painted on the outside side of their building but it's a bit daunting for me. It includes Bluebell Ice Cream's logo and story, as well as other Brenham icons.
