Trying out my new free android application to wordpress on my website.
A friend from work
To get more comfortable with interviewing others and to learn more about this evolving process iv’e decided I will try drawing some friends from work and get better at finding out how to pull the right stories out of the people I interview while I draw.

Interview with a stranger 1
I finally got the stones to talk to a complete stranger. I think this was a successfull start to this little project. This gentleman was sipping some coffee and watching the people go by. His body language told me that he wanted to talk with someone. At first I sat down and started to draw others around us. He seemed interested in what I was doing. I showed him my pen and told him how it worked. He understood the Idea and then it happened. He started to talk to me about his life experiences. It’s the human interactions that make this piece so much more for me. I find that this adds a new depth to the art. What do you think?

New Ideas for a new year
This last year has given me a great deal to think about. Aside from my digital abstracts that I have been continually evolving I have been working on this new acrylic canvas process. I have been cropping my work into manageable individual sections, printing my art on a laser jet printer, and then reassembling the piece on canvas using an acrylic jell.
As I progress as an artist I find new artistic toys to play with, and new fuel for my fire. In quest for new an unique tools I have found two that stand out. Livescribe is a pen device that not only digitizes all of you work but also records the audio at the same time. I have found this tool extremely useful for my sketches and drawings. I no longer require a scanner because all of my work is saved as a vector image. Combine this with Al.chmey; an open drawing project aimed at exploring how we can sketch, draw, and create on computers in new ways. I think I am in for a interesting year.

Yearly WordPress update!
Well I got to say those WordPress people have really outdone themselves this time! I think the new updates are impressive. I really like the new look and feel of the back end. I find the new customizations quite handy as well. that was the quickest update I have ever made.
Thank you WordPress,
Jacob Mesick
