The Challenge

  My biggest problem with getting something done lately -- uh, well, always --has just been commitment and time management.  A few weeks ago, I dug out that pen & ink drawing I'd put aside a couple of years ago, as well as a couple of others, and decided I was going to at least give it a try to get it done by the shows coming up in May.  I got out all my tools, cleaned my pens, and got it all ready to go... and then did other stuff. 
    I mentioned this to a co-worker, Chris, one morning as I was getting ready to leave, and he issued me a challenge:  to work on the drawing for at least an hour, maybe two, between the time I get home from work and the time I go to bed.

It's actually working.  I took these pics to show him my progress:

Now, I don't know if I'll get it done in time for the shows.  It's a complicated and labor intensive piece, and fairly large, but at least I'm making progress.
