One thing I love about the composition notebook is its casualness. It’s different than a sketch book. There is something about the lined paper that already lets me know this isn’t that critical. And when I use it for both drawing and writing, it feels not like a thing, but more like a place I can ride around, like a roller rink. If I stay in motion, I get somewhere
It’s easy for me to paint and draw and write on compbook paper or old file folders like it’s easy to sing when I’m alone in the car. It’s a bare-handed way to catch and re-conjure so many different parts of the day. I like seeing what will show up on its when I have my compbook open and hands in motion. I know that writing and drawing at the same time is never a bad idea. And I know that making things without knowing what they are or are for is also never a bad idea.
The images below made their way into the world somehow.
