So I'm curious - when you're starting a brand spankin' new piece do you find yourself always having the same approach?

Once I get an idea into my head I tend to find myself thinking about size, color and my overall approach before I even sit down at my desk. It's like playing tetris in my head. Sometimes I think that's the most exciting part - there's something exhilarating about chewing on an idea for awhile and then suddenly stumbling upon those 'eureka!' moments (which usually seem to happen at the most inopportune times).

Granted, it can be frustrating too. There are many starts in my head with no finishes. But tonight I feel good - I have a new piece in mind and the goober in me is psyched to lay my head on my pillow and start arranging the blocks.
