The value of the act of drawing

An interesting opinion piece from the NYT about the value of the act of of drawing, and how it’s disappearing (oh, boo hoo).

I’ve never drawn on a tablet, though I’d like to try it.  No hurry, though.  There’s a lifetime of skill to be honed with plastic and metal and India ink in my hands.

I like writing by hand

It’s been a long while.  Sorry about that.  Here’s something I just whipped up:

 

inspired by a conversation last night

The “… by hand” bit above has nothing to do with the drawing.  This is just an unedited page from one of my sketch books.  And since I just used it: I never liked the term “sketch.”  It seems weak, inconsequential.  Draw Book?  It’s not great, but it’s better than “sketch pad” or sketch whatever.  A Latin term would be better – or even better still, a Greek loaner word.  Dibum?  Iconologue?  And speaking of original terminology, I often wonder if snow-globes have a technical name; perhaps a manufacturer’s jargon for the thing made.  Uniopticon?  Friuniopticon?
