I pick a word randomly from the dictionary and then illustrate it!

Delicatessen 02.01.10
I just realized I forgot the first e in the pig. . well now I know to double check carefully! I think this really describes the word. Not only is the pig the logo (of sorts) for cured meats, but also for the movie of the same name made in 1991.
Because I want to do this as a creative exercise, I have set it up with a few rules. I pick the word at random by flipping through the dictionary and land my finger on the page. I give myself time to think about the word through out the day(a few hours or so), but I am only allowed about an hour to draw. I can use a ruler and pencil to set up a bit of a grid, but the illustration itself must be done in pen freehand. Not only am I learning a new word and expanding my vocabulary, but I am honing my typography skills and challenging my artistic abilities.
