2012 Goal . . .the ball point pen

One of my GOALS for 2012 is to try something new

a new medium

remembering, of course, it can't cost anything,

it can't take up anymore room than I already have,

and I must be able to work small

So, I decided to try

BALL POINT PEN ART

not a big stretch, since I doodle everyday with one pen or another

as I'm a consumate doodleller, doodler, how do you spell that?

Anyway - I digress -

I read in my 15 minutes of  research that in recent years

(probably recent like 10 or 15),

the ballpoint pen has become a popular medium for artists,

even professional artists (that makes it authentic).

The instrument offers slow results,

with little or no preparation required,

along with portability,

and relative low cost.

lowcost - portability - no preparation

this just cries out for me!!
