Steve,
You probably remember the old men in the parks and the streets of Taipei and Mainland China playing cards and Chinese chess. They've always been my favorite subjects. There is a playful quality to them, particularly the men of the mainland who roll their tee shirts up to their chests and their pant legs up to this knees on a hot summer day.
I do carry my sketchbook everywhere. But I went through a period of not doing so, and missed sketching during those days. I was slowed up by the fear of not doing perfect work for the people who came by and watched me. How many artists has that fear crippled?
