Welcome to Morning Ink, where I share my daily fountain pen drawing and whatever thoughts (sometimes none, mostly reasonably short, occasionally long and very rambling) jump out and onto the screen. If you don’t want daily emails you can toggle them off by going to Manage subscription – just turn Morning Ink off, no need to fully unsubscribe!1
I am now close enough to my Florence trip that the weather for the first day is showing. Cloudy with a high of 16 and a low of 5 (Centigrade).
One deadline met a day early. Other deadline on track to meet today. And then a day off tomorrow. Yay.
I have been watching The Diplomat on Netflix. Very addictive. And looking forward to watching the next Down Cemetry Road today, which is brilliant.
I am mostly saving up drawing for after these deadlines. I was doing a bit of internal idea generation for agency briefs last night, but not actual sketches yet. But looking forward to digging into them.
Thanks so much for being here. Your presence on its own is a joy, but I love to hear from you, too, so please do feel free to leave a comment. About something that has resonated for you in today’s picture or in today’s words. Or about something completely unrelated. Tell me about your morning, your creative practice, your particular work or life juggling act. Anything. If you want to go even further you can take out a paid subscription – if you’re happy to give me your postal address I'll send you some art of some kind in the post.
And if you don’t like subscriptions (I totally get it!) you can ‘tip me’ instead. But really, your presence and comments are the best rewards – if they could be exchanged for food and electricity, I’d be so very happy.
