A Digital Habit

It's clear that most successful artists, whether visual or verbal or video, have a routine they follow almost without thinking. Most are very uncomfortable when forced out of their routine or schedule. And so it is with my work. 

 The day begins with coffee, news sites, and correspondence. A lot of the time something in the news feeds triggers a drawing or two. Happily, it's easy to make drawings using a pressure-sensitive display tablet. You draw right on the screen, and the feel of drawing with a stylus is similar to drawing with a pencil or charcoal or whatever. You turn on the tablet, open the program, and draw. The majority of my morning drawings go a-glimmering via the Delete key, but some go into long-term files. 

Over the years hundreds of these digital drawings have accumulated, many posted on my other blog Daily Digitalia
