I've spent a lot of time this year hanging around creative people, and it's reminded me that there was a time when I used to express myself visually the same way most people breathed the air. I drew, I animated, I photographed, all the time. It was second nature.

I've fallen out of the habit of doing these things regularly, so I decided that the best way to get started again was to do it semi-publicly: put it on the Web. Every Friday, I'll be posting a new image here, so you can all see me exercise muscles I haven't used in years to generate crappy drawings and photos and (hopefully) get some skills back.

Let's start off with a so-so drawing of a surly monkey.
