Highlights from Series X

Something as simple as a sketchbook can prove to be essential to an artist's development. My mom bought me quite a few sketchbooks when I was growing up. I was always experimenting and trying to push the level of detail. I remember working all night on an epic medieval battle scene, something I had never tried before. I was pretty proud of that.

Anyway, the usefulness of a sketchbook is what spoke to me about this project. Sketchbooks are a great way to practice and experiment. I hope these students get that chance.

Author's Notes for "Playlist"

Unfortunately, this is all too familiar for me. I'm very distractable, especially in the face of a larger task. I will always pursue smaller tasks to generate momentum. And if there are no smaller tasks, I'll create them. It's a terrible form of self-sabotage.

There's also a great Malcom in the Middle segment where Bryan Cranston's character needs to change a light bulb and it takes him on a day-long journey eventually leading him to work on his car instead. I think this comic was subconsciously inspired by that segment. https://youtu.be/AbSehcT19u0?si=jSdSPOJ2Katv4X35
