Three small 2″x2″ pencil, pen & acrylic paint on paper

After this, I am sticking to watercolor on paper and acrylic on canvas. Acrylic is too much of a pain on paper.

consistency

Design consistency and interaction guidelines can do good when used appropriately. Strict compliance kills opportunities for innovation.

My favorite two quotes:

“consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.”
- Oscar Wilde
