Diary

I guess I'm still fixated on text and story telling. I bought several books and videos on calligraphy but quickly realized this art form was not going to work for me.  I had hand surgery years ago so don't have the necessary control that this art form requires.  Besides, it was too perfect for me.

I came across this video recently and it gave me permission not be perfect in my lettering and writing — start at 4 minutes) . (thanks Joggles!)

I also liked the idea of working on black paper and so I bought a ooly black paper sketchbook and some Milky Pop gelli pens.  Like them both for their vibrant colors and no bleed through properties.

My idea is to synthesize the news of the day, every day for the rest of my life.  We'll see how long this passion lasts.

Here's my first entry!
