My hand was aching...

Last night I "inked" for about 4 hours in a row, I know it's not a lot of time, and I should get more done daily, still it was funny and scary to feel my hand completelly numb, and see how my fingers would bend in messed up ways when I tried to close my hand... when that started to happen I came to a conclussion: every hour or so of inkinf, stop and rest your hand... I don't want to end up being all artritic or something like that!. I still need to work on my pulse, I have this theory that drawing on the computer should just be as easy as drawing on paper (with a wacom tablet of course), you just need to be able to "map" your brain and hand, and coordinate them both... so that you use your hand in a surface, yet your eyes and the result are somewhere else... it is more complicated than it sounds really. What I am going for though, is that I want to have that coordination just like that, so that I can draw with the same precission digitally, that the way I'd do it on paper... we will see how that goes.

On the other hand I catched up with memo's blog and came to think that, it really is a good blog. It may be because I know him, so I am interested to see what goes on in his life... yet I know that I don't read everything from everybody I know... it just doesn't happen. And today I did read for quite a while that blog, even the things that I already knew about were interesting, because knowing the facts you can focus on the thoughts and ideas behind the actions. This makes me think of a conversation I just had with Martha about the "realismo magico", which focuses on making something special and great out of the most common things... exagerating or overemphasizing events, thoughts and ideas... we all live in a magical world, and everyday we go through a sort of epic adventure... we just need to find the right words and pace to tell that story...

One of this days I am going to try it... one of those dullest days in which "nothing really happens" shall be told in a monumental way... it sounds like a good experiment!.

Now back to work...
