August opened with a spiky ancient fish and a sea scene done with my most recently acquired set of markers. The blue colors are lovely but will fade quickly if exposed to "natural" light (sunlight, reflections in room light). But since these marker drawings are being scanned and thus rendered almost immortal, I don't have to worry about the original image, which will be preserved in my 2020 journal which has an uncertain future. Does anyone worry about the longevity of what they create? Some artists get lucky and create an "iconic" image such as the "Mona Lisa" or "Starry Night." But the seemingly vast amount of media content we have already produced will eventually go down a black hole, to return as unreadable subatomic shreds. Have a nice day fellow artists!
