This drawing began as a 45-minute exercise alongside one of my students. I spent a few more hours on it to get it to a higher level of finish.

My prediction: NFT (non-fungible tokens) in the art world will go by the way of Bradford Exchange Collector plates. I feel like all you're getting for your NFT crypto art purchase is your name on the provenance of a digital image. As if anyone's looking. It's boring. It's needlessly arrogant.

The opportunity to "hang" with the Mona Lisa is estimated to sell for US$12,000 to US$36,000. The irony: "The experience is part of the Louvre's fundraising bid to make its collection 'accessible to all'."

Sometimes I make my grocery lists out of the discards from my drawing lessons. Because, you know, although I have three or four pads of newsprint at any given time, I can never seem to find a sticky note pad in my house.

There goes my side hustle.
