Well, if that's Roger over there on the right, chances are, he's got it all on tape.

1235. I've been remiss in not keeping up with Stan. He has three more from the last time; he's 1/52nd of the way through his year of kickstarting his creativity, and his results are strong so far. He's also got this wry humor going on which I'm really enjoying.

I hope it doesn't expect exact change. The VMRS track suit is a nice touch.

Next, a hiddent chapter of the natural history of the American west:

The cool thing about Stan taking care of his own perception of needing to jump start his creativity is that we all get to enjoy it. Stan's 366 Days of Creativity Flickr album is here.

1221. Expat Milwaukiean Stan, proprietor of Dinglemunch, currently sojourning in Carthage, MO, is kick-starting his creativity by setting himself a goal both simple and monumental – one drawing a day for a year.

He inspires us to try same (just not yet, we have some pictures to go through). His first effort is our illustration today.
