The ideas for private driveway and hydra happened on the same day, within the span of my lunch hour. While at a stoplight, I looked to my left and saw a bird perched on a post and immediately thought it would make an interesting drawing. Then, while in the pet store I stopped to look at the cats they had for adoption. In one cage was a trio of black cats – abandoned by their owner, the card said. Heartbreaking. They were in a lower cage and were sitting together towards the back. I couldn’t see anything but three sets of green eyes staring back at me, like a feline Hydra. Again, a drawing .
I got back to the office and did these really quick sketches to preserve the ideas. Sometimes, no matter how good they might be, I lose drawing concepts in the mental overload of the every day. Note-taking has become essential.
