Long time listeners will know that I've been doing a sketch every day 3 or 4 days for a while now.
During remote working finding interesting subject matter is hard. I like drawing buildings and people sat in meetings and I don't see any of those things any more. I've done a few views from my window and a few zooms but it's not the same.
Back in 2002 Michael Bierut started doing a pencil drawing every day and to relieve himself of "the chore of searching for a subject each morning" he drew a photo from the New York Times. Genius.
So I'm going to try that for a bit.
His drawings are of course all better than mine and it went on to be a brief set at Yale but that's another blog post.
