i wonder how much i really hear when people are talking and how much i assume or just filter in.  i mean, am i hearing what i want to hear?  and if i expand that a little bigger, am i assuming people think of me in a certain way?  and who knows, maybe as we go through life and for the sake of our self esteem, it’s ok to think people like us more than they really do.  maybe it’s a catch 22 where by “believing” people like us more than they really do, we become more confident, and thus, people like confident people more.  maybe bing a little self-delusional is ok for my sanity.

think week we use a new inking tool that’s a pure black brush.  it was definitely a lot harder to control and to errors were quick to happen.  but the pay off is the line variation, which really adds a lot of personality to the art, i think.  not sure if i’ll keep using it since it took so much time.
