Afternoon silliness

Had a not very fun couple of days, thanks to a difficult writing assignment. It's what you have to go through if you have two people who need to approve something, with slightly different ideas of what will work. You have to satisfy both at different times, and your work goes all wooooo...

Well, at least it's not for the Discovery Channel. You get three different layers of masters to satisfy. Does that make for good writing? Nope. Not unless you can hit it with your first shot. That feels like a hole in one. Really, it's mostly about me, hating to change something that seemed all right in the first place. And I really don't know how to make it better...

Sometimes the producers have good ideas, however. It's when you can't see where they're coming from that you end up stabbing in the dark, ripping your work's delicate fabric. (oh me, oh my)



Doing all of that, and finishing it, I think, has put me in a giddy mood. I took some snaps of myself, and the sketchbook I recently bought. I'm getting new glasses soon. And I need a haircut.

Other than that, I know people who will never put their picture on the internet, and maybe they're wise. At least less exhibitionist.



This is the first drawing in the new sketchbook. On the inside leaf. I always date these books and put contact info in case I lose one. Got a nice e-mail about the one I left in Thailand, but they want me to come back in person and collect it. That's Thailand for you. Very friendly, but not always cooperative.



Drawing of Russian couple, and awkward horse. This was easier than scanning it, though the blog template doesn't like the size Flickr makes horizontally-oriented photos.

I don't post everything I draw, though sometimes it seems like it. I'm not giving you the Asian lollipop-head girl, for instance.

The photo below is funny. I just noticed how the knight is poking the kitty in the nose. I like to draw and paint sitting on the floor, like a little kid.
