A Copywriter Writes

A Tumblr Blog
DAN WATSON

Kiwi copywriter.

Illustrator on the side.

This blog is filled with stuff that simply comes to mind that's too long to tweet.

It's mostly my observations as I try to make it in the advertising industry. It keeps me writing and, hopefully, gets you reading.

    Lately, I’ve been keeping away from the sketchbook.

    This isn’t a poncey, artsy choice I’ve made, I just haven’t had time to sit down with it. So I’ve been drawing on what ever has been around.

    Grease-stained roti paper.

    I would recommend this. Grabbing a random piece of trash and drawing something on it. Not doodle or sketch, but finish and inked or whatever.

    Maybe it’s got something to do with the tyranny of the blank page; you see the perfect white page in your sketchbook and you have the pressure to draw something cool on it. But when it’s a piece of otherwise garbage, you relax. And when you relax, you produce something you like. Maybe that’s it.

    I dunno. I just like the look of it.
