Lynda Barry Quote
Daily practice with images both written and drawn is rare once we have lost our baby teething begin to think of ourselves as good at some things and bad at other things. It is not that this isn’t true, but the side-effects are profound once we abandon a certain activity like drawing because we are bad at it. A certain state of mind- (what McGilchrist might call attention) is also lost. A certain capacity of the mind is shuttered, and for most people, it stays that way for life. It is a bad trade.
