[GUEST POST] Saturday Sketchbook: Repeating Patterns & Perfection

Sometimes when I have completely run out of ideas, or interesting places, or thoughts, or anger, I instead draw the same couple of patterns and lines over and over again.

At night we’d hang out at the park behind his house, drinking IPAs and tossing rocks at the tennis court fencing until he got bored and went home to have sex.

Thoughts on a failed story: Big Bend

Part one, because this story is pretty long.
