Found this picture on Flickr -- looks a lot like the "100 drawings" exercise.

My Bag
This is a photo of my sketchbook showing what's in my bag. I was fiddling with the sketchbook when I thought: whoa, there's a LOT of tech in that bag. Oh, and Pez.

Blank page
Our future is a blank page. It is up to each and every one of us to scribble something beautiful there.

Landscape fragments
Rural landscape fragments from along the interstate. This page also has some of my notes about how I plan to approach painting the subject. There are more sketches here.

Ghost Squiggle
Sometimes you draw something that you know you will never be able to recreate or repeat. This is one of those things.
No Graphite Zone
I drew this back when I gave up one pencil to train msyelf to trust what I drew. I might go back someday.
Listening
I don't remember what I was listening to but I know I wasn't paying attention and was drawing this instead. Music effects you mind and soul so much that professional animators say not to listen to it while you draw. Sometimes its fun to let sounds effect something visual inside you.

Nagochi Filing System
After reading the post on Dave's Communication Nation blog regarding the Nagochi Filing System, I realized I had been doing something similar for several years now, and posted a comment. Dave wanted to see some examples with a brief explanation, so here they are.
These transparent envelopes would enhance the usability of the Nagochi System by allowing the user to quickly view the envelope's contents without emptying it first.
The transparency also makes marking the envelopes an optional task.
Having recently moved, I have culled most of the unwanted documents from these envelopes, categorized them more precisely, and placed them in inexpensive filing boxes for archiving. These would be considered "holy files" in the definition of the Nagochi System.
My system was never as organized or systematic as Nagochi's, I just keep these envelopes around and when a pile on my desk or work area got too unruly, into an envelope it went. The envlopes were tossed into a box until I needed something in them or got around to sorting them further.
I use a similar process at tax time.
As tax related documents arrive they go into an envelope. Even though I file electronically, I obtain and keep the Federal and Local tax booklets and instructions so that I can see them through the envelope. No marking necessary, the booklets are the labels. Everything goes into a handy filing box as shown here, along with all the previous years tax filings and documents. Note that the box is also quasi-transparent.
Most of these envelopes here are a horizontal/landscape format, but you can buy them in vertical/portrait format as well.

Scratch Project
Scratch Project, originally uploaded by nationless.This was initial idea of the scratch project... It was supposed to be a kinda of a world cafe. It ended up being more about capturing, saving and sharing ideas in the raw 'sketch' form.
topograph
topograph, originally uploaded by updownsideways. When I'm bored, I often end up doodling something that resembles a maze or topographical map.
It's a really interesting (and easy) way to keep my hand moving. This one's simply a bunch of small wiggly shapes, where the distance between the lines varies a bit, adding texture.
Anyone else tried this?
