All these images are sketched in the Bright Ideas journal.

These images are roughly in the order they were created.
The Third Week of drawing I realized what this book is all about,
and the subject chose me rather than me setting out to do it.
The book is about those odd objects that fill a home which, when you die,
NO ONE will understand their meaning.
I will draw the objects and write their meaning…
Maybe this occurred to me to do because we had deaths enter our family this week.
When someone is dying, it does make you think….
Then a young urban sketcher-man died tragically too…
This blue drawing of shells drawing is the one
where it became clear what the journal would become…
On the other hand, Bright Ideas has SO many pages this too may change!
