The drawings of last week, Smokey, Jackie, Jackie, Mookie, culminated in a final set that evolved out of six iterations. Sometime back I had written down chains of names based on first and last names: Smokey Robinson's last name leads to Jackie Robinson, whose first name leads to Jackie Wilson, whose last name lead to Mookie Wilson. All of the names I did like this were of African Americans. I could've gone from, say, Jackie Wilson to Flip Wilson, or any other variation. I liked the symmetry of singer, baseball player, singer, baseball player. Also I like the sound in each name of the hard "k" and the ending "y" vowel. Originally the list was six or seven names, but I lost it, and just did these four. For a bunch of silly drawings based on blocks of color doing four of these drawings everyday, each an extension of the previous day's drawings, was pretty engaging and a little challenging.
