A form of meditation I've been enjoying lately is setting aside 20 minutes a day to sketch while emptying the mind of thought. It's difficult because my mind tends to race with ceaseless pondering and I'm quite sick of all the chatter. I try to let go and do nothing but enjoy the feeling of the Sharpie's damp ink sink effortlessly into the dappled texture of the thick paper. Somehow in the process, these strange plant-like beings emerge. I can't wait to see what shows up as I let go even more. Medium: Sharpie on paper, digital color, text.

What a great idea! I'll have to try that, but the chatter is endless. That image is creepy cool!

Metal Ox,
Would love to see your mindless scribbles!! Next time you visit fog city, we'll bring our 'skines to the park and see what we come up with.
Sincerely,
Wood Dragon

This seems way more productive than drinking too much red wine, like I do, to stifle the chatter and weed out the dead people in my head. But then again, I'm a jerseyuhuahau (yeah, can't spell today).
