02-13-04 Call me Ish...I mean Skip! Who am I ?. I've a BS in Biology. (BS is very suited to me) I'm a recovering dog musher. Bit of a carpenter. I more or less make a living as a wood-turner i.e.: I make bowls, plates, boxes, bells etc. from wood on a lathe. I love to canoe, kayak and go for walks on the high tundra. I'm a musician. I play guitar, mandolin and fiddle.

Since October of 2002 I've become an artist in pencil and starting an Elfwood page on Friday the 13th sounds very appropriate to me. At this point I need to say thank you to my mentor Jonathan. If it hadn't been for him I wouldn't have started drawing. Also the quality of my drawings would be poorer by far.

I'd also like to thank my Friends here in the woods for their encouragement. They aren't the only folks in the woods who's art I like but they have befriended me. I am very grateful.

Katja Alakotila at gallery 36

Linda Gock at gallery 75

So far all my drawings are in lead pencil. The thought of colour intimidates me a little. I've only been drawing a little over a year so cut me some slack.

I won't complain if you use my art, but if you figure out how to make money at it send a percentage my way. I sure haven't figured out how to make money at it;-) Enjoy, Skip

There is alot of character in your portraits. Your friends must be very pleased? If you want to keep improving it might be a good idea to try to puch your values in the next pictures. Your drawings are sensitive but a bit flat in values. I also like the pretty frame you drew around Jamie.

:-) Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Thank you for visiting. There’s lot that could be improved though the biggest improvement would be to just draw again. Life got in the way and my first love music gets all my free time. Someday......
PS The border around Jaimie is what I put around the Wooden Bowls I make."

Dear sir:
I miss you! Haven’t been drawing much in the last couple years. I hope one day soon the urge will hit me but in the meantime I will appease my art habit by looking through your gallery. Hope it is not too chilly in Alaska this lovely April. We have been having spring showers, and my fiancé is getting excited to plant his tomatoes.

I sincerely hope all is well with you - I have not forgotten my online friends!
Love,
Robin

:-) Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Hello My friend,
There is no need for you to call me sir. Leave that to people who want money from me. I visit my favourite drawing of yours often though I don’t leave comments as I’ve left many there already. I still hope you and your Beau make it to Alaska sometime and play some music with us. It’s a lovely spring here. I’ve moved my bed to the porch. Hugs, Skip"
