Jokers and Jesters for April Fool's Day



Drawing in my index card book.
Sharpie marker, extra fine point.




Page of an altered book spread in
a book of seasons and holidays.
Gesso over scrapbook paper, Sharpie
marker drawing, and some
clippings of architecture from an
art history book.  The jester is 
a photocopy of a drawing that I did,
and the arch is actually raised from
the background with pieces of
adhesive foam.



Opposite page of spread, featuring
drawings of medieval style
decoration.



The original drawing in pencil.
I photocopied, darkened with pen,
and reduced it in size for the 
altered book spread.



A sketch in one of my journals
of an idea for an art doll...
haven't attempted this one yet.

May all your jokes today
be fun and funny!
