How are you doin'?

We have no frame of reference for this stuff.

It might work for a little while but that won't help us laugh.

I am trying to keep this blog upbeat, as I think so many of 

us are bruised from the constant assaults of COIV-19, 

we need smiles and laughter, faith and positives.

I will try to offer up somethings that might brighten your day,

a free digital Re-ISSUE of UPPERCASE #22.

Or, a short biography od Dorothy Day (above), here.
Meet Newman. Have you ever studied at a peregrine falcon? here.

What do you do when you have more important things to do?

I get distracted by anything that seems more fun. 

I  looked at some backgrounds that I'd saved to use ...

Could I do a continuous line drawing using my laptop mouse?

 

Sorta. My first attempt at continuous "mouse" line. Rough!

The second attempt using a non-continuous mouse line. Still tricky.

I drew again with the mouse, then filled areas with color.

Non of these are important or will ever hang on a wall.

But, sometimes it's good to try something out of the box?

Have you ever tried drawing with your mouse?

A stylus doesn't count, that easier.
