Factors

 There are three important factors in the act of drawing

1. Materiality

2. Elements of drawing aka every drawing is abstract

3. Feeling of danger

Teaching

 How long exactly? 1998 I started at the University. Minor subject from 2007. But I was teaching in different places already before 1998. Just curious, I guess. I think it has been 30 years, must've. I've had my moments and I guess I still do, but in general I feel I was at my sharpest maybe 2010. Could someone check this out for me? Thanks

Working

 Now working for real with book 4. This means saying goodbye to many characters. Or does it? Book 5 is in plans and at least Juri will return and Tsitsin. Riittamaari maybe not. 

But before that I will have over 40 pages to do. And although Tempera is no longer selling the scrsperboard of my choice, I will have enough to conclude this book. And I ordered more from Italy. If the package arrives safely I will order even more. 

Day starts with a class at Aalto. So then.

Easily

 The amount of time and effort put to this project makes it easily the most difficult thing I ever did. Book 3 now just about finished and book 4 has 25 pages done. But why on earth do I keep on keeping on?
