Play with isometric perspective drawing.
Gay Pride party grocery list.
A Josef Albers study based on his series of paintings 'Homage to the Square'. I painted a few copies in gouache on 12 x 12 panels to look at both his color theory and to practice hard edge painting. Here I work out Albers underlying geometry.
My swimming yardage.
Working out an idea.

Sailboats? Sharks?
I purchased a bright pink pen from Martha Mae, and amazing store in the Adersonville neighborhood of Chicago. A crosshatching test here with all the specs.
A pink pen from a different brand.
A text drawing not filled in.
I do think one should avoid cliches if at all possible, although I fall into them all the time.
The segregated city.
