loud music at a zine fair always feels counterproductive to me. best music choice i've experienced is low-volume Plantasia all day.

I was sitting, sketching this panel and a staff member from the museum walked up to me. He showed a photo on his phone of Frida sitting in the exact spot I was, painting her own canvas next to Diego working on the area of the mural I was now sketching.

It's an idealized harmony between laborer and machine. Back-breaking work. He matches the curve of a bent arm to the curve of steel. Workers perform synchronous movement, but their faces are their own. He maintains the individual's dignity within a system.

What I was most taken by is the way Rivera makes space and breaks space. Tangent lines enforce flat space. Planes intersect and build rhythm. Then, diagonals and the curves of assembly lines break the flat plan and draw you back into space.

just finished client project with ink on paper and then digital color. all the lines look good, even the quick/messy ones

i keep thinking "oh, client work you gotta ink on the comp so you can edit and work more quickly"

always ends with higher percentage of bad lines

Incredibly helpful to see what other people are bringing home. Makes me worry less about how I'm doing at these things, focus more on what I want to be putting out.
