Idea Factory

Ideas and inspiration are funny things.  You never quite know when the thought or idea for some artwork comes to mind.  I always try to have a notebook or sketchbook close at hand at hand.  Some times the ideas are not too sticky in the brain and need to be captured quickly.  Some times they are burned in, sometimes they are fleeting.  Not all get sketched.  I have run across written notes and not remembered the original thought so they have been lost.  I found this bear in an old office notebook, mixed in to meeting notes.  I don't remember the source or the thought behind it.  I had a little bit of a bear stage a few years back and this was one of the small sketches.  This is ball point pen on ruled notebook paper.
