Still digging through my iPad for random sketches (there are a lot that I started and either never finished or simply got what I needed out of them and I moved on to other things. If I had to put a number to it, more than half fit the description above… https://t.co/K8hFtmzYe5

I was working on the graphics for the next podcast episode (Ep 150: Drawing Stuff) and decided maybe now would be a good time to move my Christmas post out of the first spot on my board. Okay, love you. Bye. https://t.co/8vVZ1BfT2D
