the Box 1

11.03.11 The Box On the slip of paper pulled from the box tells is written (in very specific, fine black ink lines): Draw something with this pen. I tipped it on its side (fits better and really doesn't need to be seen any larger); thought about doing some sort of self-critique of these, but for… Continue reading the Box 1
