In the midst of education, we usually find a bit of daydreaming. With note taking tools, kids sometimes doodle their subconscious. A daydream, much like a real dream, has a lot of reflections taken out of the common things we see and do on a routine weekday. I imagine the inspiration can come from the elevated train ride on the 7 train. Let’s turn the classic No. 2 pencil into the shape the 7 train line takes, along with the color of the line and mash it up with drawings of that journey. The colors from a colorful sunrise or a soft sunset in Queens, that lights up the buildings in the city. Don’t forget to add a few emojis to set the vibe.

Noah and his Mom (Jenny) wrote this book together. Jenny sent the book to Cat. Cat illustrated it. Jenny read the book back to Noah. Noah in disbelief, said, “This is my book!!”, “My book!”

We want to share this collaborative creation with all kids learning from home.

[j]aguars mural

Posted in Uncategorized by catferraz on September 15, 2016

This is a mural I created freehand in Tarqui, Ecuador at an animal refuge/zoo over the course of an 8 day stay in April 2016.

It was done in mostly oil latex & one can of black spray paint. I never got to measure the wall, but I’d estimate it was roughly 25’ x 4.5’.
