'Febrrruary' | Daily Drawing #310
A mild December and January lulled us into a false sense of security. Winter officially came and kicked our ass this weekend.

The Coffee Achiever
'The Coffee Achiever' | Daily Drawing #303
Coffee. Make it black, like my heart and soul.
Those of a certain age will remember the ad campaign for coffee in the early 80's called 'The Coffee Achievers'. For some reason The National Coffee Association felt the need to spend millions on an ad campaign featured celebrities and athletes drinking coffee. “The band Heart drinks coffee, and they’re awesome, so maybe I should try some of this stuff!”
The thinking of the time was that coffee was for old people, and old people die so who will buy the coffee? So their ad agency created a campaign featuring an elite band of super coffee drinkers like ELO, David Bowie, Cicily Tyson to name a few, to get ‘the kids’ thinking coffee was cool.
The ads were hokey and seem very dated now, but there was a time when ‘The Coffee Achiever’ was made to be something you strived for. Because who wouldn't want to sit and have coffee with Kurt Vonnegut?

Nice Day for a Run
'Nice Day for a Run' | Daily Drawing #300
This is the first stab at an illustration with the Apple Pencil on an iPad Pro, using the Procreate app. I’ve used Procreate in the past, but with mixed success due to the poor choices of styluses available at the time. The Apple Pencil really changes the game. Palm rejection was the main problem for drawing on a tablet, and they’ve solved it. The Pencil itself is sleek, has a nice weight and feels natural in the hand (that’s what she said). I was up and running within 10 minutes out of the box and was able to bang together this quick drawing.
My complaints so far are minimal: The Pencil itself is a beautiful, almost delicate object - and is perfectly round and rolls right off the desk. A piece of masking tape at the top, like a little flag, solved this problem. Storage is also an issue – there’s no way to clip this to the iPad or the keyboard, and the Pen itself is about 6 ¾” tall, so you can't exactly slide it into your shirt pocket. I’m sure we’ll see third-party solutions soon enough and these concerns aren’t deal breakers.
I’m really impressed so far with the Pencil/iPad Pro and look forward to seeing what I can create.
