I got into a fight with my washing machine earlier today. I think I won, but I can't help but expect future battles...

As ridiculous as this image is, this is exactly the sort of reason why artists pick up pencils. I had a frustrating problem that I had to deal with and I drew a stupid picture about it, turning that frustrating problem into something fun. It's the sort of thing that resulted in my school notebooks being littered with drawings.

Granted, my notebooks eventually were littered with drawings mostly because I remembered points from lectures better with doodles than with just words, but there were still several "I am drawing this so I don't go insane" sketches.
