Ten thousand things to draw
May 9, 2004
Content of kitchen cabinet, fridge, bedside table, medicine cabinet
All my shoes, clothes
Covers of ten favorite CDs, books
Every significant front door of every place I've lived or worked
Everything I eat today
Contents of my bag, of my pockets
Every tree on my block, labeled with its official Latin name
All the cars on my block
Views out each window in my home
Clutter on my desk
A map of my neighborhood
A map of the house I grew up in
Portraits of my wife, son, and pets asleep
Every appliance in our house
Every phone in our house
Series: every cup, mug, vase and lamp
My hands, feet, face, body
The exterior of each place I buy lunch
My car's engine
Every pen and pencil in my desk
All of Patti's cosmetics
Every present I got on my last birthday, Christmas
All of our sports equipment
Every chair in our house
Every outlet and all its plugs
Everything that belongs to a pet: food, toys, clothes, bed, medicine, cage, etc.
All the liquor in our cabinet
The portraits in my yearbook
Ten pieces of broken cookie
Ten manhole covers
Ten hydrants
Each component of a sandwich, individually, then assembled
All our jewelry and watches
Every hat I own
Every bill and coin in my pocket
Ten things from any catalog in our mailbox
A plate of spaghetti
The laundry: clothes, machines, detergent, etc.
A record of my exploration into all aspects of drawing, illustrated journaling, creativity, and the inspiring aspects of art. By the author of "Everyday Matters," "The Creative License", and "An Illustrated Life" and other books.

I like art and I like lists, so naturally, I loved this!

I love this list! I'm thinking of adding all the book covers I have on my nightable, my children's faces, the art supplies on my shelves, the little boxes I keep my jewelry in, and all my jewelry.
Thanks for revving up my drawing motors on Monday morning.

... different kinds of birds outside my window ... the flowers in the garden (each type, not each flower) ... all the photos on top of the piano ... the tools on the garage workbench ... contents of trash cans ... garden tools in the shed ... weeds in the yard (could be a post mortem on that) ... shoes ...
