To Draw or Not to Draw?

"Noirish" Sketch by Scott WalldrenEver since I was a ‘wee lad, I loved to sketch and draw. My grandmother was largely responsible for instilling this love of “art” in me.  My Dad’s irreverence and back-of-the-napkin and doodles and verbal characatures also played a role. And who could forget the Bruce Blitz video my Mom bought me when I was in elementary school?

I would draw on everything. About everything. Up until recently, I had kept my notebooks since middle school that were lined with cartoonish lampoons of whatever subject matter my teachers were trying to impart. To this day I often find myself doodling on scratch paper during meetings – usually incorporating cartoon versions of the problems at hand – or a sketch of an abstract of the business problem. Or sometimes just a really funny thing somebody said.

Lately, as you can probably tell by reading this blog, I have taken to trying to draw something every day. While I don’t have the personal time to post a “Sketch a Day” as much as I’d like to, I make the effort to doodle something – anything – each day, and tuck it away into a folder for later review.

Once done, I think I will collect my favorites, scan them into the computer in  higher quality (than is posted here) and create a 5×7″ photobook on Shutterfly for posterity.  Just a thought.
