Assistant Lugs is doing some small paintings for an art show and I am extremely envious. For once it would be neat to wallow in traditional media and all the spontaneous unplanned things that happen as paint hits canvas. When you are working on the computer pretty well everything you do happens because you plan it to happen. There aren't too many things that happen all by themselves on computers and yet IRL* that’s what you are working with all the time: the texture of the media, the viscosity of the paint, the temperature of the environment. And the smell, remember the smell of the inks? The computer only smells twice; when it is brand new and when it's about time to toss it out.
* IRL = in real life, I mean
