Drawering.


Of the things I can't do, which are many, the one thing that I wish I could do more than anything is draw. A lot of my friends have the ability to take a blank piece of paper and create whatever is in their heads, where as when I try, it looks like I did it holding the pencil in my teeth. The best drawing I ever did was in 1988. It was of a dirt bike, peeling out. I spent several hours working on the rider's helmet, his outfit, the handle bars, the fenders, the tires (with muddin' tread!), but when it came to the engine, I was stumped. I knew nothing about mechanics, and I'd really only seen a dirt bike in real life once. The rest of the drawing was done at this point, and there was only a gaping hole where the engine should be. I tried my best, but in the end, it looked like the bike was powered by a large serving of black spaghetti. My Grandma has it framed in her living room. I used to watch this show, and get so stoked on the dude's creations, but super bummed when I'd look down and see what a wreck my paper was.
