A drawing I just finished for someone in Japan. Strategically placed Waterman fountain pen and cap that serves as watermark. I’m supposed to add hashtags for the machines, right? #doodle #lineart #abstract. There, was that enough? (drawing took 15 hours maybe)

I found, in a notebook, something I wrote, probably last year. I think I must have copied it from somewhere, but when I search for the sentences in chatgpt and google they come up empty. Did I write this? It’s possible I also
wrote it describing a scene or two from Queen’s Gambit. Thoughts?

Pick your own battle field. Do not let the enemy goad you into a battle site of their choosing.

read the Art of War. ( i am partial to the one by James Clavell)
