I'm going to write a poem about a new online application that lets you click on people you choose .... to make them nicer, kinder, more friendly, less insulting.

I like this idea.

Maybe I'll run across a developer who'll actually develop such an app.

I don't have a picture of me in the dining room. When you were here, I didn't even have a dining room. I used that space as office space. Now it's a dining room but there's no pic of me in there. I really don't know what photo you're talking about.

it's the 8X10 of you when you were about 22 that was framed and sat on the piece of furniture in the entrance hall

the eyes you drew in your journal remind me of your eyes in that picture

(there is no program invented that can make me nicer...haha)

Haha. There has never been any furniture in my foyer.

I do know what photo you're talking about now, however.
I was actually about 28.

i love how the page works with the perspective
and i think you're very brave to do the inside of your car, yet it all flows - inside, outside view

P.S.

I love the way you are using your knees as a representation of yourself observing
(plus, I love your knees)

judih & lrod - thanks

it's sorta a strange way to draw ... 'cause the perspective is so far off .... Just sayin' most drawings have ONE point of view. this particular drawing has 3 points of view

1) I'm looking down on my legs to draw them
2) eyes move up to look forward over the steering wheel to draw what's in front of the car
3) I turn my head to look to the left to look out the window and draw what i see there

so when you put it all together, it's sort of dizzying in a way... you know something's wrong with the perspective but you can't quite figure out what.... unique maybe? will keep playing with this idea

thanks, Dave!

walt, that's a riot! You think you can guess the type of car I was driving by my lousy drawing? too funny....

nope, you're not even close. Think Japanese.

the wife has one.....looks like your drawing....but that was after
some yo-yo biker ran in to her fender

I hate it when someone says, THE WIFE
it sounds so objective and possessive
but it is a personality cue
