WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT ?

First of all, let me explain my blog title:
Raleigh - INSIDE&OUT.

If you were born in the old Rex Hospital in the early 50's like I was, you weren't born INSIDE the Beltline. You were just born and lived IN Raleigh. Period.

It wasn't until the early 80's, when the Cliff Benson Beltline was finished that homes and their residents and pets were assigned the titles "Born Inside The Beltline" or "All Those Other People," otherwise known as "Outside The Beltline."

As a result, at the ripe old age of 30-something, I became an Inside The Beltliner through no fault of my own except being born to parents that owned a home on St. Mary's Street.

So, now let me explain what you'll be doing here. You will be following my journey, through sketching and lettering, while I meander Inside and Outside the Beltline.

I'm new at this, so I hope I either give you inspiration to try your hand at it as well, a boost to your ego because you've found someone who's not as good as you are (yet), or at least a good laugh!

In any case, come with me. Be my passenger. And let's enjoy this journey together!!

UNC-TV Page Eight


This neither scanned well nor did well when photographed! I will take more time with it next go round for you. But I wanted to get in this first step of the process I am doing.

Last night I watched a movie on UNC-TV called Page Eight. As I was sitting there, I had the urge to sketch! So I decided to sketch bits and pieces of what was on that show. I am definitely not done yet...have more layers to put on. But I am having fun with this. I hope it turns out well in the end!!

And I'll tell you what everything is at that time.
