The 1980s was, stylistically, an attempt to recreate the awesomeness that was the various set designs of Cloud City

A Proposal for a New VA Flag

Rob Balder, creator of PartiallyClips, suggested that no matter how boring the flag of Virginia is, it is still cool because it featured a female human breast. (the discussion)

Andrew Rogers suggests scrapping the original flag—which features the state seal desiged by George Mason—for something more geometrical.

I still say you could jazz up the original design just a bit and make something very good:

finished ink+wash

Version 2:

When I made the second, I did it on thick watercolor paper instead of thin drawing paper. The inking went a lot faster because I used a better pen. I also made a point to draw fewer lines, under the assumption that I could do more shading with the wash. I also used a different brush for the second one. That was a mistake, I should have used my better brush.

Okay, this is just a rough sketch. I’ve learned that I need a lot of proactice with the ink and maybe a better pen.

Bamboo?

I got a package from the folks today. It contained a few xeroxed articles and, strangely, two seven-inch sticks of bamboo. “Bamboo? What the huh?” I thought, then rushed out the door to work.

This evening, I bothered looking through the articles. The bamboo, it seems, is the answer to a question I had asked Mom about ink+watercolors drawings. According to the article (Mom didn’t give me a proper reference):

The ‘pen’ I use is generally a matchstick thrust into a short length of bamboo, which I then sharpen with a razor blade or craft knife—the actual shape is the one that works best in a situation…

Ah ha. I need to pick up some india ink.

I had originally asked her: how do I draw this.

Here’s the final version of the modern piece I started last night.

And on the right is a work in progress. All I can say is that it is less ugly now than it was last night.
