    Parameters and constraints are my best friend. Without these you
    have no target. Without a target you'll never hit a bull's eye. 

    It might be fun to throw a bunch of bezels and squiggles at your
    charcoal block but what have you produced? Randomosity. That's not
    design, that's chance. Ok, a few of those might be cool by accident.
    But have you mastered a concept? Have you drawn out of the materials
    something that you knew was in there just screaming at you to get
    out? Have you been the creator....or a bystander? 

    That might sound snobbish to some but you have to keep raising the
    bar. What, no bar? how do you jump?
