4 Today

I did four drawings today, I figure with a possible 50 percent success rate my average could increase with two more days at bat. I actually am beginning to reconnect with old school formalism, a much needed boost to my repetitive studio repertoire of the past several years. While it has been a bit like pulling teeth (tethered string included) my teeth were loosened by the end of day 1 and have begun falling out one by one with each passing day. While certainly painful at times I remain ever mindful of the potential choking hazard ... so while I have retired the tether, I have it neatly tucked into my tool box for safe keeping. So far so good.
