A day in my life. Drag myself to Natural History Museum. Begin drawing. Explain to 6-year-old why I chose a monkey to sketch. Show tourist my watercolor set. Explain how I stain blank pages to a teacher. Let 8 people look through my sketchbook. Hand out endless squirrel stickers. Sneak quick 10 minutes of drawing. Have long discussion on urban sketching with a couple from London. Describe what pens I use over and over. Proceed to draw a little. Cover up a few mistakes with trickery. Field incoming compliments. Smile a lot. Head home tired but satisfied.
