I’m trying to work up 100+ thumbnail drawings for my atrocity project in the less-than-a-week I have left of “Winter Break.” Generating new ideas so frequently can be difficult. Thankfully, I’ve discovered the reassuring background-drone of SOAP Net’s daytime line-up. Vintage Beverly Hills 90210 and The O.C. (One Tree Hill is too irritating to be background drone). It keeps me going.
