Last week, Okat and I met to catch up and discuss our plans for DA. And in true DA form, we drew together inside one of his sketchbooks. I know, how appropriate. Our meet-up consisted of a couple of micron pens, some ridiculously cheap markers and to top it all off, cold beer and laughter. It was a good day, and what do we have to show for it? This all over the place, colorful, I-Don't-Get-It collaborative doodle.

I have to apologize for the lack of updates on my part. When they say that NY moves fast, I had no idea they actually meant it. Work has been keeping me extra busy and I have also decided to go back to school at night. My love for DA, however, still runs deep, and to prove it, I have decided to share the pages of my sketchbook. I carry it in my purse at all times and it is slowly falling apart. But I am especially fond of this sketchbook because I have always wanted a red one (it's the little things that count).

The pages inside are a mix of brainstorming session notes, random thoughts, ripped scraps of paper and color. It's a little bit messy. It's a little bit playful. And I like to think that it's a little bit like its maker.
