Something different than usual. These are things from my yard, scanned on my (very dirty, ew!) scanner. I just like how these plants and flowers look like they’re floating in outer space.It’s been a busy summer! I didn’t make hardly any art but I did write two blog posts! You can read them here.

Hello I have updated my website! It had been basically unchanged since I made it probably a decade ago, I can’t believe it. There are a couple of placeholder type things (like I don’t actually have a page of Available Work yet) but all the important stuff is there.draw Gabby draw! Art and illustration by Gabrielle Rose. draw Gabby draw! Comments
Layers but IRL not Photoshop layers!!!It was easy to lay everything out and it was hard to actually adhere it. I’ve searched for what adhesives collage artists use, but weirdly cannot get results that are useful to me (everything seems more suited to sturdier media, not delicate mulberry paper like I’ve used here). So I did what I could with a glue stick and a little tape dispenser that I think is for scrap booking. You roll it along the paper and it leaves a strip of stickiness. Neither of these is precise enough. Anyway, learning as I go. Comments
drawgabbydraw:I don’t know what to call this. Pencil, watercolor, and metal leaf (which simply doesn’t scan well) on hot pressed watercolor paper. 9x12".By the way, what kind of gold or metal leaf do people like to use? What I’m using now comes with such a clunky adhesive applicator. It’s like performing surgery with a hammer.Wip’s on instagram![Repost!] Comments
Stargazer. Click to see the detail images a little bigger. I wish I could say this had some secret meaning, but the meaning is I’m enjoying using new combinations of material in my art. These translucent papers layered together is so ethereal. I only adhered the top of the faces so you can gently lift the layers up to see the faces underneath. Everything else here is ink blobs, watercolor, some line drawing. Messy pencil and eraser marks abound. Comments
Night on the inside, sun on the outside.I love this black and gold paper and have been trying to use it and not be precious with it. I really enjoyed using a mix of media for this (omg, mixed media?!?): watercolor, collage, gold ink, india ink. Comments
Green paper, I love you — draw Gabby draw! Oh my goodness, these papers. I’ve used watercolor to fill in large areas of color for so long and I LOVE watercolor blobs, but gee whiz draw Gabby draw! (I’m kind of blogging on my website.) Comments
I think this is my favorite Mossfriend. The print of this will be joining my shop after the others before some reason I forgot to get one made of this? my favorite?? Watercolor and collage. Comments
Painting around some collage. I like the black, starry paper, but probably I should have glued it last! Comments
Another 5x7" watercolor and pencil work for the Send Me Across the Sea show at Helvella Art in Oakland! The show is up until April 27 and it’s very cool. Comments
