I'm still not totally sure on the direction of this months piece but there is something that comes to mind. A bit of initial late I. The evening sketching may lead to something more.
Month 3, Day 2
Priming this up. It may be fairly small steps for a bit mostly because my plate is pretty full for the next few weeks.
Month 3, Day 1
Well that was a nice 12 hour break. Fresh start.
Month 2, Day 31
Working. Last day on this.
I want to keep things neat but it's a discipline to which I have yet to incline myself fully. My neatness is sporadic and conditional. I've yet to learn how to make things without making a mess but at least when I make a mess I have something to show for it.
Month 2 complete.

Month 2, Day 24
It's always a little surprising when all of a sudden what your working on starts to feel like something. Moments before it was just random parts and then you draw a few lines, paint a few strokes and it just starts to pull itself together.
Month 2, Day 23
Building things from memory is a very interesting process. For one you realize that despite the lack of total recall there is very little you forget. Even more surprising is that you can as a matter of process explore and piece things together things you did not really understand at the time. It's work and strangely so but it can be done.

Month 2, Day 15
So far this month has been nothing like last month. I can't say if it's for better or worse just different. I feel like I was much further along last month by this point but I have also planned a bit more on this piece.
