I liked seeing this, James. It made me realize that we don't get to see an awful lot of your raw drawing. Clearly there's excellent drawing "under" your paintings, no doubt about that, but it's nice to see the "naked" line work.
I especially like that you seem to have used lined notebook paper!
And I meant to add how much I enjoyed the phrase, "immobilized by a mobile device."
But don't you have a washing machine at home? Just wondering.
Your sketch and comment are giving me a very big grin. I'm seconding Tom's and Steve's comments. A person can see a story here. Thanks.
