I started drawing on an iPhone at the beginning of 2009, and, at the time, I liked being able to work so small. I got so used to the size that the first time I used the iPad, it felt like I had a pinball machine in front of me. In time, however, I became more proficient on the tablet and started using more lines and more detail. To the point that now, it feels primitive indeed to draw on the iPhone.

A Connecticut newspaper ran an ad for a gun show next to a story about Sandy Hook today.
As a former newspaper guy, let me emphasize that in situations like these, you can generally check the ad stacks and change things to avoid situations like this.

The first sunrise of 2013 here on Oahu’s east coast was rainy, but not gloomy — such showers are considered a blessing in Hawaiian culture, and seemed not to signal an ominous new year, but one filled with nourishment and growth.
