Much as I enjoy your drawings here, today my favorite part is that you’re sketching on staff paper. Am confident Beethoven would be pleased.

That sort of looks like a Beethoven sonata. (Was there much ergot poisining in his day? I forget.) 😉

Whoa. Do you usually use staff paper to write notes? It’s good to see what your work looks like when it’s messy — gives a little confidence to see that all of your ideas don’t spring from your head fully formed.

For me nothing beats writing a first draft on paper. I love both the feel of the materials and the ease of shutting off (external) distractions. The computer/internet then serve well as editing and transmitting tools.

Social media seems to know no boundaries as your technique illustrates. I think the idea of using different forms of personal expression to communicate is an important one in building personal relationships.After all, that’s what social media is all about and yet,as we go more and more to digital and mechanical devices, we lose the kind of personalization you show here. I don’t know much about the iPad or Kendell, but maybe those devises might provide an outlet for your form, but they will still lack a degree of personalization that pen and ink conveys.
