The images themselves were created in a rather ad hoc fashion, some for one reason, some for another. On the one hand, on my travels connected with globalization, I was typically alone in a hotel at night, and before retiring would sometimes sketch myself as a relief from reading or thinking further about the day's presentations, discussions, training problems, and so forth. Moreover, I was often creating a sketch record of an international meeting or conference in which I was myself a participant or presenter, and for that reason, needed a fresh sketch of myself to add to those of the other participants in the event. On the other hand, when not traveling, I would sometimes draw myself (again, usually just before retiring) to try out some idea or technique I had been thinking about in sketching others. Finally, all sorts of other odd motivations also generated sketches, such as those in the arrangement fragmentary images, several of which were drawn to send as a puzzle to my grandson to see if he could recognize the subject who was only incompletely represented.
