Inktober 27th: triangulation

Today I sent an e-mail to the managers of SSP America to the effect that I was not coming to work today. (I just love sentences that begin and end with the same word; don’t you?) Muscle problems have plagued me for days. First it was back spasms, then a pulled groin muscle which interfered with my sleep two nights running. So I am “resting comfortably.” I got a good slug of sleep during working hours and do feel better.

But I wasn’t up to the mental gymnastics required for acrostic-building, nor the focus required for portraiture. Today’s Inktober page relies on the faithful standby, the Triangle, with a sprinkling of circle to spice up the lineage. I’m mostly happy with the result. I think the contrasting darks give the drawing a good muscularity, and the composition during creation had a good way of righting its own wrongs. But I do wish that the thickness rheostat on my two-headed Sharpie wasn’t so un-nuanced. Grade: A minus. 🙂

I thought it would be fun to put the page in an environment, so the book it came in on stands on two nice books just acquired, one from the library and one from Goodwill. I like the resulting continuum. Hope you do too, Friends.
