Mitsubishi is jumping back into the production of aircraft for the first time since WWII. Banned from making planes after the war, the maker of the Zero fighter was relegated to making parts for American aircraft for the past seven decades.

It seems that those big headphones from my youth are making a comeback. Not to protect others from the listener’s choice of music but to protect the wearer from all of the unwelcome cell phone chatter around them while traveling. I am very sympathetic. Recently New Jersey Transit designated two quiet cars on all rush hour trains. All phones turned off – I love it.

Today marks five years of daily drawings. Every weekday for the past five years I’ve challenged myself to observe, draw and post a drawing. Today’s drawing is number one thousand, three hundred and twenty eight. Like the news that lies beneath, the drawings are often ugly. they’re done in ink without an under drawing. More exercise than art, I further challenge myself to draw only on the text that corresponds to the subject. I figured that only getting one shot at it forces me to observe more carefully. Not in the sense that I’m taking care to render anything, I am less concerned with making pretty marks than I am where said marks lie in relation to one another. Admittedly, most of the drawings are failures. The only real value comes from having done them.
