ink on paper

10 Comments

A stack of new “car­toons drawn on the back of busi­ness cards”, all made in the last week or two.
As help­ful and con­ve­nient as dra­wing on my Tablet PC is, there’s a cer­tain je ne sais quoi you only get with ink on paper. So my favo­rite media is asser­ting itself again. Good news.
I’ll post some of these up on gaping­void, once I’ve bought a new scanner.

   I would be inte­res­ted in seeing designs that might apply to our busi­ness — not sure if you do this sort of thing or not…

   So… are those drawn on biz cards you’ve been given or do you buy blank biz cards to draw on? Or do they have your con­tact info on the other side?
   Just curious.

   Per­so­nally, I think the je ne sais quoi is quite appa­rent in the out­put. Loo­king for­ward to the new batch.

   hellooo !
   I receive my busi­ness cards from you today with one of your dra­wing … it is top class … won­der­ful. the back is pink with my pro­fes­sio­nal name in white, and two little sen­ten­ces about my job + web­site & email addres­ses, then on the recto, your dra­wing with a guy saying “Was it good for you” and the girl ans­wers “Read my blog“
   i love it.
   exce­llent pro­duc­tion. exce­llent artist. quick + easy tran­sac­tion. run for them !
   no i am not paid for saying this. should i ? )))

   i agree… when i write, my wife says my most emo­tive work is with pen on paper… same with my dra­wings… pen and paper… maybe there are less synap­ses to trans­fer the thoughts and ima­ges… but i don’t know… it just works…

    There is something divine and authen­tic as the hand and pen work together.
    I love my com­pu­ter for blas­ting out words, blog­ging, and email (couldn’t live without it), but some­ti­mes the spi­ral notebook/hand scrib­bling com­bi­na­tion pro­du­ces better-quality, more-insightful stuff… even though there’s less of it.
    I’ve keep every note­book I’ve ever written/drawn in since I was a teen. Some of those old ideas still ring true!
