Prompted by some traffic on an Instagram post , I got to thinking about…long glass. For some, it’s a no fly zone. Going north of the wall. The “It” that lives in the sewer. Riding the Shai-Hulud. Whatever, I digress already. The avoidance is understandable. Telephotos, especially long ones, are historically heavy, bulky, and often requiring the trundling along of a tripod.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

I love Cy Twombly's drawing, Orpheus. Let's see if you can too. __ In times of uncertainty for painting, artists often revert to their primal roots in drawing to help find their way. As curator Katharine Stout noted, drawing has long been the mechanism for strengthening the gene pool of fine art, contaminating it with strong graphic properties, bold notions from advertising and comics, structural strength from geometric and mathematical systems, and other impertinent strains.
