I had a lot of fun with a pencil for graphing a graffiti style versal. The pencil lets me fly around with light lines to find the right shapes, but I can still erase or crank up the density and line weights to sculpt the shape to my liking.
Either way, it’s less stressful than ink…and with my architecture sketching background, I willing to live with the unfinished look.

My father-in-law lost his battle with pancreatic cancer last week. He fought for three seasons until finding his rest in the early morning.
That day, I stayed at home with the kids while my wife and her mom made arrangements. They played on their computers while I listened to podcasts while working on a jigsaw puzzle that had been sprawled across the playroom mat for a month.
When she came home, we took a walk around the neighborhood school. The boy then played with our neighbors. They wanted to stroll around the school too.
So we did.
