People love lists. Here's my list for this week

1. Using cut paper, design a bag that will never be used. This will take approximately 20 hours, once you have a finalized concept and all of your supplies. Mental note, beware of Sobo glue. It's evil and less than tasty.
2. Eat at least one meal per day, preferably in sandwich form. If you can't eat food in sandwich form, try bar or chip form. Cereal is also acceptable.
3. Find a way to live on $100 per week, while spending at least $20 per day on art supplies. This week, I'll try to sell some bag designs for $40, getting me back to ground zero. Mental note, Sobo glue is not a food item.
4. Learn about humility by drawing 5 portraits that capture the likeness of your subject. Mental note, set aside at least 20 hours for this ditty, or you will look (feel) like a fool during critique.
5. Imagine a relationship with a nice girl. This will be a science fiction story, since it is set two years in the future, when cars fly and Hillary Clinton is president of the Federation. Mental note, knock this out while cutting paper for the bag.
6. Recreate a bag template in Illustrator by meticulously measuring a print out of an existing bag template. Mental note, this is dumb.
7. Pray to Jebus that you stay healthy and don't get shot. Mental Reminder, you do not have medical insurance. Praying can occur while cutting paper.
8. Surprise, like all great things, bags come is twos. Get right on the creation of another bag design and make sure that it has a reuse. I am thinking a gum scraper, bottle cozy, mouse trap or smoke bomb.
9. Think of some products that will hold the media-soaked attention span of a 13 year old boy for more than five seconds. . . Gum scraper, bottle cozy, mouse trap and smoke bomb are out.
10. Finally, spend some time with your tiny dog, who looks longingly into your eyes, knowing that he will only get two short walks, two cups of food and 19 hours of sleep per day. 19 hours of sleep – he's living the good life.
