Proudly joining , to celebrate one of my favorite things in the world.

apparently I'm too stupid to own an Intuos. Don't ask.

Anyway. Haven't had the will to draw anything for a few weeks now. Brain not firing on all cylinders. Everybody sick, a lot going on.

But one thing I recommend to everyone in the world, and that's What It Is by Lynda Barry. If you ever followed Ernie Pook's Comeek, you know she's an amazing storyteller who can grab you by the heart and throw you to the floor crying, with her "crudely drawn" tales of childhood.

What It Is is about creativity, with autobiography and discussion of Lynda's own creative struggles.

You can find videos of her doing some readings from it right here.

her stuff about "images" blows my mind. And it connects somehow with stuff I've been reading in Keith Johnstone and even Eugene Gendlin. It's cool.

Look at the book, go to a bookstore and look at the book and see if it's something you are unable to leave the store without.

And if the bookstore does not have it, slap them.

Picked up a 6x8" Intuos3 tablet on Craigslist for $50. $50!! My tablet is now slightly larger than my actual laptop.

I don't see what's so bad about #1, myself...

stealing time from work to draw naked chicks? BAD SCRIB!
