The first thing people often noticed about my favorite coworker was that her office chair was an exercise ball. Today, she made a move that was both gutsy and rational: leaving her post simply because she was ready for something new. Does she have a new job lined up? Nope. Will she succeed? Yep. Have I thought about following her example? [REDACTED]

I almost forgot the Golden Globes was on tonight, which is funny considering where I work, and the fact that several of my co-workers were on the red carpet. But Ricky Gervais pulled me in with his usual lack of reverence for Hollywood stars, which set the tone for a show has been entertainingly off the rails.

From what I understand, a lot of actual artists use thumbnail-sized sketches to work out their compositions without getting too bogged down with detail. Perfect use for my new 3.5" x 2.5" pad. Next stop, grains of rice!

Practicing heads in art class today; I added some digital ink to one of them after the fact.

All the septuagenarians in my art class will be fascinated by the method used to draw this, thus distracting them from the fact that it’s a lousy drawing! Thanks to Mom for continuing to pose with the phone long after my sister hung up.
