You know I’m a fan of mark-making. I think it is an important tool, as well as a fun thing to do. Taking the time to draw an idea, or your surroundings, brings a certain pace to the whole relationship that enhances it. You really have to look when drawing, and so you see more, and further.
Anyway, lofty babble aside, it’s Big Draw Month, internationally! So participate. Don’t get hung up on the – pardon my French – bullshit phrase “I can’t draw” that everyone reaches for. That’s meaningless and fundamentally missing the point. Get out there and have fun. Or stay in there and have fun. Either way… draw something. Then share it.
(Incomplete companion to the sketches I posted two days ago. It is of some fellow who was also waiting while we waited for a delayed flight to Ann Arbor. Actually it was the 2nd, not the 5th, and a gate in concourse B, not C. I mis-labelled before scanning. Not that you care.)
The Big Draw has a website here, but your local city may well have numerous Big Draw events all around the city. Look for websites for them. Angelenos, here is the Big Draw LA site.
Enjoy!

Hi Barbara!
Great to hear from you. The zentangle work looks like fun! Thanks for letting me know. You may indeed have mentioned it.

Hi Clifford, Did we talk about Zentangles when you and I and Nancy and Amy had lunch together all those many months ago (years?). I know you’re a fan of mark making and you might really like Zentangles. I’m completely addicted to it. Check it out at zentangle.com or my flickr site- flickr.com/photos/banar
We’ll have to talk about it when and if we ever get together again. Barbara
