A study in ink on Bristol board.

This strip represented a return to the challenges and satisfactions of working with ink on paper.

The subtle drag of pen, brush and metal nib on paper; the softness of sable hair spreading puddles of black across Bristol board; the comforting smell of drying ink; the unavoidable stains on fingertips; and finding happiness in the accidents that won't erase away - all of these qualities are lost when working with computer media.
