I was on a mission.
With the last $5 in my wallet (and of my "misc" budget for the next three weeks) I bought a sketch book.
Nothing fancy. In an effort to jump start my new Art practice, I've decided to spend some time at lunch doodling. Something I realized early on during my practice today, that I had forgotten how to do. I reached for a pencil, because there's an eraser and a mistake can be undone. No! I quickly stopped myself. This is a practice in fun, freedom and improvisation. Then I remembered my pens - which were sitting on my counter back in my apartment - not in my bag.
However, no excuses would be tolerated. I pulled out a simple black PilotRazor pen. And took charge of my sketching. As I was making my to-do list for work tomorrow and on my way out the door, I flipped to a new page in my book and started drawing lines and filling them in. I had some notion of making a "tribal" design.
I crammed myself on the first train.Then, pressed up against a DC suit carrying a bunch of stargazer lilies and bordering on a fit of sneezes...
I saw Floyd.
