The Sketch Book — monthly resolution

 Month of August resolution: find a pair of shoes that I don't hate. Running shoes that is. And then run around in them. A lot. I'm convinced that finding the right shoes in the right color is the only thing standing between me and Olympic greatness.

I was really in a place of perfecting sameness last month and getting into a routine. And sometimes I get worried that my predisposition to routine living spills over into how i approach my art.
