[gallery] If I were smart I’d set aside some time to put together a list of sketch topics and plan a better distribution method. If I were smart. I’m doing a #tinychallenges in December. You can too!

[gallery] I sat down at my desk this morning and almost started working first-thing. It’s doubly tempting because this week is sure to be extremely busy and there’s a lot of anxiety in front of completing my daily sketch. I’ve spoken about it before, the idea that the blank page is a kind of …
