pencil drawing of Wilsonia cabin for the book The Cabins of Wilsonia
Hey California Artist, are you still working on that book, that cabin book of drawings?
So glad you asked that question! Yes I am, and the completed drawings are stacking up.
How many have you finished now?
48 at last count.
How many are left?
Umm, I’m not all that good at math and I’ve added a few to the original plan. (Translation: Can’t deal with reality)
Did you learn to use Adobe Indesign yet?
I practiced with the trial version until I had a long list of questions. My friend Carol will help me work out the answers when I visit her in April. (Right, Carol??)
What’s the name of the book again?
Great question! It will be called The Cabins of Wilsonia. Don’t you think that is a clever title?
What typestyles will you use in your design?
Do you really think anyone gives a rodent’s hiney about that?
Why do so many interviewees answer questions with “I’m glad you asked” or “great question”?
Monkey hear, monkey say.
Seems that the quality of this interview is deteriorating. Would you like to get back to your pencils now?
Great question – I’m glad you asked that one!

Deb, rodent’s hiney was every so much more polite than the original version. Thank you for loving my weirdness – when we were hanging around together in the ’70s I tried to stifle it. Now I am a grownup and I can do anything I want!
…rodent’s hiney…you crack me up. I love it that weirdness piles up inside of you until it boils over…You make me laugh out loud!
Thanks, Cheryl! It is so fun to release my Inner Buffoon. All that serious drawing causes my weirdness to pile up inside until it boils over into a bizarre post.
Jana, love this drawing. Also love your interview posts and the humor you inject into them 🙂
Just learned that my (extended) family still owns one of the historic cabins, but it needs work. Are you aware of any assistance or programs to help them get the cabin restored?
Lynda, thanks for commenting. I’m not aware of any assistance programs, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Are you in touch with any Wilsonia people? If you want to email me (via my contact under artist info on my website – phew, that’s a lot of steps!), we can talk a bit more about it and maybe I can steer you in the right direction.
