Note : Looked all over last night, finally found my star charts - where else, but in an old Astronomy magazine, at the bottom of the maps and magazine drawer. So nice to have them again - used to always have them close at hand while drawing to make connections and get ideas, along with a stack of anatomy books (human and animal), math, physics and medical books. Wow - I don't travel light... at least not when it comes to intense drawing sessions.

Good clear light, a pen and a pad of paper are the absolute minimum, though. Add classical music and I can start jamming on it - add stacks of visual information, and you probably won't get me away from it for several hours unless something really important is going on that requires my attention.
