Always a great show when Mike Viola and Bleu team up.  Thanks, gents!

It’s always interesting to me to see how tiny things can totally change the character of a drawing.  I have different sketch from this evening where the same model looks about 10 years older than in real life.  But here, a rushed job of shading leaves a couple underdeveloped areas and a little stray line, resulting in a softer, rounder face that’s about 10 years younger than the real one.

Art Center is back in session, and that means more drawing workshops!  It’s crazy how quickly one can get rusty.  Did a few two-minute poses, then several threes.   Some of the three-minute drawings were okay, but in the final analysis, [insert terrible pun referencing post title].

Hard to believe, but I’m just about to cross the halfway mark –  thanks for the support, everyone!

P.S. – Sketch confessional: after my first pass at the hair, I had to get out the eraser to make the hairline a little more accurate.  Didn’t want anyone to call me out on it.

Just took my cousin to the airport for a visit to the motherland.  Best way to get there: Qantas A380.  What’s that you say?  You want to see the inside?  You got it.

If your answer > $310, you didn’t go to Al Weiss.  Seriously gents, take some cash and cut some deals.  Those guys are great.

Today, I drew a forward-looking trumpet.  You know, just because.

P.S. Yes, horn enthusiasts, I realize these valves aren’t exactly accurate.  Hold your letters, please.

Finally got to welcome my cousin back to California today!  This guy rode shotgun on the 3000-mile U-Haul trek, and saw her through scorching deserts, blown tires, and (shudder) Graceland.  You’re a trooper, Bernie.

So my friend and former workmate Stephenie was kind enough to leave behind a box of Duplo at work.  I figured it was time to build something and do a quick sketch of it.  So what to build with a limited amount of Duplo?  Well, this is what you get when you let the wordplay dictate the design process: a pretty ugly “Duplo duplex” (complete with cubist palm tree in the front yard)!

Depending who you ask, this drumming accessory is either called a “stool” or a “throne.”  Either way, the possibilities for bathroom humor are torturing my inner 11-year-old.
