Shoulder surgery on HorrieM’s dominant right arm has put the ability to illustrate on hiatus for six weeks. So we’ll be delving into the archives and returning to where it all started with the first six posts of the HorrieM Blog. Both the writing style and illustrations have evolved over the years. Looking back, everything is a bit raw and a little cringeworthy … but what the heck!
[Week 2 of 6] Whoa, I think “the blue man”, as others have often referred to him as, has certainly iterated with the years. This is the second blog post of what was a personal challenge of creating 30 posts in 30 days. An experiment with the blue (aqua?) palette, drawing style and some simple language. The “frightening” challenge suggested at the end was inadvertently carried out just this morning, though with substitution of the bus stop for a train station. Which is a little serendipitous when opening and reading this old blog much later in the day.
Don’t think you are good at change? Simply start small!
Take a different route to work. Try a new coffee shop or lunch venue. Don’t listen to your normal radio station. Do a priority piece of work before opening your emails. Watch a movie you wouldn’t normally go and see. Talk to someone at the bus stop (yep, this one is frightening).
