In the cleaning of the closet recently
I realized that was a retractable easel inside there.
How did I forget that?
I haven’t drawn extremely large scale in quite sometime. Model sheets, storyboards and the like don’t need be incessantly large. Perhaps the lack of need for it contributed to forgetting about it…

7 Little Things That Make Life Effortless.
1. Do less. This is my productivity mantra, and it’s counterintuitive. I actually don’t believe in productivity, but instead believe in doing the important things. Do less, and you’ll force yourself to choose between what’s just busywork, and what really matters. Life then becomes effortless, as you accomplish big things while being less busy.
