This week we discuss our Inktober projects, Big Magic, Learn-to-Draw books and reader feedback. We pour it all in, add ice, a dash of bitters, shake, and garnish with a lime. We serve it up in a Collins glass with snacks and a bowl of links.

We must remember that everything depends on how we use a material, not
on the material itself… New materials are not necessarily superior.
Each material is only what we make it.
