I have been oddly busy this year, and found <a href="http://instagram.com/lambpocket" target="_blank">Instagram</a> so much easier to keep up with. I don't always have much to say about my work, so it's a great platform for just putting it out there easily. Follow @lambpocket for much more frequent posts.</div>

I am excited to share my interview with <a href="http://mariauanderson.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Maria Anderson</a> is up on <a href="http://paperdarts.org/blog/2014/5/30/flamingo-bears-cara-cara-oranges-and-lap-cats-interview-with.html" target="_blank">Paper Darts</a>. I'll copy and paste it here, but you may as well read it on the site since it is laid out in a much better way with nice links and pictures.<div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<strong>What's your favorite thing to draw right now?</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
I've been fairly goat-focused recently. I tend to be really interested in the facts surrounding whatever it is I am drawing, though ultimately, that's not necessarily visible in the work I produce. It feels important to me to know why I am drawing goats in a tree, to be able to say, "This is real, goats eat the fruit of the Argan tree." Not that I'm producing these very-accurate images—it's more a matter of being true to the spirit of a subject. The research also often leads me to new topics to get excited about.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<strong>What's your sketchbook philosophy? Can you talk a little bit about your notebooks?</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
It's an all-inclusive philosophy. The sketchbooks end up being more of a diary and series of to-do lists filled with drawings that are tangentially related. I find that doodling in between writing items on a packing list, for example, helps me think of more things to add to the list, and adding things helps me think of things that I want to draw. I also just love having context for my dumb little throw-away sketches, to remember that I drew this flamingo-bear when I was worried that I was not getting enough potassium.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<strong>What do you think about discipline? How do you make yourself approach projects that perhaps have gone a little stale?</strong> </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Revisiting things that are old is a huge struggle for me. I tend to lose all interest as soon as I step away from something. That's also how all these notes come in handy—if something I jotted down next to concept sketch can make me laugh, or can remind of something I initially found exciting, that's a great way to feel invested again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<strong>What are your obsessions?</strong> </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
Do we mean art-related obsessions? Not wearing socks is my prime motivation at this point. Of course, like a good cat-mom, I am very obsessed with Olive. Food-wise I just discovered Cara Cara oranges through a coworker and am now on the lookout for those. Art-wise I've been experimenting with ink, digital collage, and making little stamps.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<strong>Do you have any pictures taped up in your room that are particularly special? I still have that tiger you gave me taped to my door. The goats are there, too.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
I like to have a healthy amount of stuff on my wall. Directly above my desk is a vintage tablecloth map of Europe. There's a lot going on with it, but in a very cohesive and realized way. I connected with it immediately as an object; the colors toe the line between hideous and beautiful somehow. For pictures and postcards, we've been hanging those on the front door since our fridge is not magnetic. I find those sorts of things somewhat difficult to have by my work space, as they can prompt friend-guilt and I start to feel like I need to check in with a lot of people, but I like seeing them when I'm having breakfast and heading off to work. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
This is maybe a little gross, but I have a few small things I've made framed and nearby. It's never the most finished pieces. Having the sketches up is more inspiring to me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<strong>How has having a cat changed your creative process? Having another little being in the house? A new family member?</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack" style="color: #9f9504; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.15em;"></a>As much as I love having a cat, she definitely hasn't helped the creative process! All of a sudden she became a total lap cat and I am not good at removing her. In my home life, with <a href="http://www.davidnymanmusic.com/" style="color: #9f9504; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.15em; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">David</a> and Olive, I am the most comfortable I've ever been, which is great, but can be a bit of a problem. I find external motivation more important than ever to help prioritize and stay motivated. I like a little bit of pressure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<strong>What have you been reading lately? Writing?</strong> </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2f2e2e; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
I just finished reading <a href="http://www.harpercollins.com/browseinside/index.aspx?isbn13=9780061579028" style="color: #9f9504; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.15em; text-decoration: none;"><em>Tunneling to the Center of the Earth</em></a> and really liked that. I was really into <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83hFiC-siDs" style="color: #9f9504; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.15em; text-decoration: none;"><em>Number One Party Anthem</em></a> by the Arctic Monkeys, which sounds like an LMFAO chart-topper but is actually a slow, sad, pretty little song. Currently seeking my summer jam.</div>

I was very excited when contacted to contribute art to <a href="http://www.americascores.org/" target="_blank">America Scores</a>' "<a href="http://www.inspiredartnyc.org/" target="_blank">Inspired Art</a>" Auction. The organization promotes self-expression, teamwork and exercise through a unique combination of soccer and poetry for children.<br />
For this piece, I chose the poem, "Us," written by one of the program's participants as my inspiration. Full poem after the jump!<br />

My piece was inspired by my cat, Olive, who alternates between sleeping angel and fierce predator about 19 times a day.<br />

Not to put too much weight on this little guy, but it got me thinking about a question that comes up a lot for people in the writing and illustrating biz, "What comes first, the words of images?" For me I usually think about both at kind of the same time. Often it's one image that prompts some words that prompt more images, etc.</div>

I like to get get my brain going by drawing an image, then describing it. Sometimes it stays in the sketchbook, other times it becomes an entire book or <a href="http://society6.com/SusanneLamb/When-You-Assume_iPhone-Case" target="_blank">iPhone case</a>. </div>

<br />
I chose to do Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness because I distinctly remembered the prevailing gloom. Most covers default to an image of men on a ship or an old photograph of a steamer crew with "natives."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EGI949G6eXQ/UaYVDOS7G_I/AAAAAAAABk8/aL855GnMfsc/s1600/Heart+of+Darkness-JConrad+SLamb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EGI949G6eXQ/UaYVDOS7G_I/AAAAAAAABk8/aL855GnMfsc/s640/Heart+of+Darkness-JConrad+SLamb.jpg" width="427" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted to pull more from the imagery Conrad uses, as he frequently references clouds and, of course, darkness. The cover is intended to evoke the literal trail of smoke a steamer would generate, as well as a yellow sky before a bad storm, and, more generally, the presiding theme of light versus dark.</div>
