Scram, little guy!<\/h1>\n

New assignments are fun. But exciting too. Where do you start? Which drawing goes best with the client, the situation, the message?<\/p>\n

Ideas<\/h1>\n

Don\u2019t think I lack ideas. Coming up with ideas is simple. I open wide the windows and doors of my brain and let the wind play havoc with my thoughts. Let those curtains flap! I chase my creativity from every nook and cranny where she lies sleeping. I look at my own cartoons. I look at other people\u2019s cartoons. I google for images. But most of all: I scribble.<\/p>\n

Drunk little guy<\/h1>\n

While I am thinking about the new assignment, I make little scetches, I draw funny figures and I droodle unconcernedly. But not before I sent my screaming little guy<\/a> away with a bottle of rum (80%) and told him to mind his own business for a while. He may get drunk. And then he can sleep it off.  (Mind you: while this is perfect for small guys who sit on your shoulder and scream, it is extremely unhealthy for real people.)<\/p>\n

So much to choose from<\/h1>\n

In this phase criticism isn\u2019t welcome. Now all <\/em>ideas are worth contemplating. What I wrestle with, is that I have so much to choose from. How do I make the best choice out of ten thousand potential drawings? It may sound strange, but that problem almost solves itself. I droodle and scetch until it feels right. Until there are three or four ideas left I can work on. Then I call: \u2018Hey, little guy! Back to work! I need you!\u2019<\/p>\n

Grumpy<\/h1>\n

Luckily he always comes back. At first a bit more grumpier than usual. But after a while he is sitting on my shoulder again, screaming into my ear that I am doing something wrong. Do I really think this is funny? Or that anybody will understand this? What do I think I am doing? <\/p>\n

From that moment on everything is back to normal. Wonderful.<\/p>\n
