Yee-Haw sketch

This is a ball-point pen sketch in my sketchbook, a preparatory drawing for a small woodcut I'm going to do soon.  The idea is to incorporate it into a larger image, but I think it'll work on it's own as well.

If you're amused by that sort of thing, you can click onto the image, which will take you to my Flickr site.  The original image is freaking enormous (and the drawing is kind of tiny), and it's kind of funny to see pen lines blown up into what looks kind of like big, fat charcoal lines.

I guess I needed my current break more than I thought.  I'm not particularly enjoying the down time, but I have been sick more often than not over the last two or three months, and just taking time off to get healthy wasn't an option.  Taking cold medicine, single-handedly supporting the cough-drop manufacturing industry, and pounding cup after cup of coffee to keep going was the only option, and it feels nice to finally be able to take a nap if I need one.  I've been hitting the gym with more regularity, and predictably, I'm feeling a lot better.  My mind is finally clearing, and the ideas are flowing a bit.  At least enough so that when the break is over I'm going to absolutely rock that printing press.

It's probably about even odds whether or not I'll post again before X-Mas, so I'll just wish everyone a happy holiday season right now.  Keep warm!
