I was sitting early the other morning and watched a pigeon out the window on a wire. I was in a drawing frame of mind which is "what IS that thing, if I don't call it a pigeon first?" Then I saw it was an arrow and it's head was the arrow head. It... (Read More)

What we see as it goes

July 30th - via: kickstarter.com
Drawing is like casting a net. The analogy may be perfect but it will have to be tested. The only reason a net can catch anything is because it lets so much pass through. When you draw someone you love they are not one thing, they are so many things... (Read More)
