lost and found


grape juice with tic tac toe


G. B. Shaw

About a month and a half ago I lost my Prismacolors—I was heartbroken. Since I live in multiple locations right now, I knew they could have been in any number of locations, but luckily I found them last week (under my bed). I have been celebrating our renunion with random sketches in colored pencil. I actually like colored pencil for sketching because they are mostly permanent and I’m sick of ink for now. I’ve been trying to draw in more permanent media lately, or at least not erasing obsessively. So far I think the exercise is paying off because I notice that I am getting more confident (even if everyone gets to see all my screwups).

    Nice choice of subjects! To quote the great GBS, one of my two favorite playwrights, the other one being good ol’ Billy who Shakes Pear trees: “Every person who has mastered a profession is a skeptic concerning it.” Maybe these so-called, yet not at all obvious, screwups exemplify that skepticism? :-) More power to you and your confidence!
