Paper 23

Some little pieces of paper to start the new year. 

Things that make sense, things that are bits and pieces of what we learn as time happens, things that are in my ink notebook.

Always a good idea to ask this question. Especially to people you love (who are very close to you). Like.. in a timely and relevant fashion.

It always helps.

And now I love leeks.

Just say what you think, just pick something, just choose something, have a preference, keep caring about what you care about. And no one can actually know what you're thinking without it coming out of your mouth.

And sometimes at all costs. People can get pretty creative when they really want to.

Sketchbook Project

The Maryland Federation of Art celebrated their 50th anniversary by putting together a local chapter of the Sketchbook Project (endeavor of Art House Co-op). 100 sketchbooks were on display this summer at The Art Gallery, University of Maryland College Park, before joining the masses in Brooklyn. Mine was there, filled with little fragments and ink.

And then, I agreed to an adventure with an adventurer and a photographer.")

They even gave me this odd little sketchbook tattoo!
