Sketchbook Drawing of My Old Phone

February 23, 2016 By Rebecca LP Johnson   2 Comments

Rebecca Payne. Ink sketchbook drawing.

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 want the date, the time, the temperature, the type of weather, the kind of media I used and what colors.  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.  Just before I made a down payment for a new one and agreed to an additional $29 a month fee for two years . . .
