Sketchbook Drawing of My Old Phone
My Old Phone: This is an ink sketchbook drawing of my old phone. It includes collage and reminds me of that summer moment. The longer I draw, the more information I want to remind me of that day notated on the sketch.

I have been known to include quotes, recipes, what was playing in the background and overheard conversations. No Need for a New Phone Yet: An Uber driver recently gave me the business about having such an old phone. I was planning to get a new one, but since the old one still worked it wasn't a big priority.

Although the customer was pleased, it is not a piece that I would use as a sample of my best work. I suppose this is something to consider when you are being commissioned to do something that does not align with your vision. I think that graphic artists must deal with this issue all the time. It is exactly why I am not attracted to that industry. My goal is to build a situation where I make what I am inspired to create, . . .
