Vibrations From 10,000 Feet In The Air: Moleskin Mexico



Where I would normally comment on the state of the economy, and how they struck out on the bailout plan (Yeah!) finally causing the DOW to drop a whopping 777 points in a single day (Double Yeah!) I'm going to talk a little about Mexico.

I went there at the end of August on production for the agency I work for, Alma DDB, and did some sketching while I was traveling or waiting around for stuff to happen in my moleskin. Little did I know, moleskin sketching is a popular past time in the blogging community.
This was from the plane on the way there. It's only a three hour flight, which was my limit until I went to L.A. That's gonna be another post. I was even rustier than usual, but I had my trusty ball point pen and some good tunes. I think I was listening to Portishead, now I don't know how useful it actually is with calming people down, but it worked wonders for me.
Some of the characters you see there are from my little alphabet that I created back in 2001. I use them all the time when I don't want others to know what I'm writing.

I'll do some more about my drawings from Mexico tomorrow. And maybe I'll talk about the economy.
