Monday was so full of work that most of the details are pretty fuzzy. The one thing I do remember is the wonderfully light and clear-headed feeling I had all day. It may have been related to something else, but I am giving full attribution to the fact that I only had a granola bar, an gala apple and lots of water all day. Every movement feel determined and every problem seemed to find a quick solution. I think I’ll do it again soon.
I keep forgetting my scanner at home, so I actually drew a pretty crude sketch for this on a scrap of paper, emailed to the Mac using the office copier and then whipped up this vector version in about 2 hours or so. Illustrator CS4 for the lines and pattern and Photoshop for the slight burning/dodging.
