Part fun, part skill building, making images is still my favorite past time. I carry a pen and drawing pad with me everywhere I go. I try to draw everyday. There is a rather impressive stack of filled drawing books in my studio and it continues to grow!
Technology is also of interest to me. I think of the best tools and devices are ones that augment my talents and allow me to generate imagery (and ideas!) that I could not do by myself with pen and paper. In addition, the ability to easily generate many digital options (without harming the original) and then to have the chance to choose (or curate) the best option is a very attractive and productive design process. I guess it is most akin to the way I physically make collages.
