Sunday

Backpack Sketchbook - Pakistan

Keeping a travel journal isn't always convenient at the time, but opening its weathered cover years later brings back a flood of memories that would have been lost. I drew this one evening during a stay with a friend's very generous and hospitable family in Lahore, Pakistan. The family would gather every evening to sit, tell stories, and host a multitude of neighbors and relatives who dropped in to visit. There were many people living close together, plenty of shared meals seated on the floor, and dozens of new surprises every day.
Although our customs and cultures are different, seeing this reminds me that we have more in common with the rest of the world than we think.

Why the Vitriol on TV?

As long as viewer numbers drive programming decisions, plenty of TV networks will show vitriol and conflict. It's hard to look away from a car pileup -- traffic slowdowns prove it -- but that doesn't make it quality programming. We're likely to see more of the same unless viewers are willing to turn away to something better.

Visual Improvisation

I drew this sketch live at a Roadside Louie and the Dusters blues concert, then added color digitally.
Drawing at concerts is fun - hearing musical improvisation can help inspire visual improvisation.
