walking up the stairs to kyoto's thursday night sushi happy hour**, i was answering some questions about my book.
in our company that night was a gal who repairs instruments, which, i think, is fascinating. she doesn't repair stringed instruments, so her current beau, a ukelele player, is out of luck if one of his axes--or, in this case you would say, hatchet--goes down.
"instruments are HARD to draw. the hardest instrument to draw," i said, "was the trumpet, tubes running every which way. my favorite instruments to draw were the violin and the bass violin. i love the pegs and shape of the heads."
the hardest THING to draw, i said, were the strings on the stringed instruments.
"why don't you use a ruler?" said the ukelele player.
...yeah. that is a great idea.
the ukelele player
his other videos are awesome too.

I really like that video. BTW- Using a ruler takes all the challenge and fun out of it. At least that's what you can tell yourself. ;)
