Here are some drawings from the weekend. The horses are from central park.
Jose hosted a drawing class at Gina's Betty Spaghetti's School of Art and Debauchery.

I wish I had a copy of Jose’s little sister’s drawing. She starts her people by drawing the arms first. Actually she starts at the elbows and bends them like sharp parenthesis.

Anyway, these are a few of my drawings.

some ideas

here are a few illustrations for the video i was talking about...

Last night I went to asifa drawing class. Late as usual. I had just come from work where I get to draw and color all day. I had just occurred to me that wow this is my life. all i have to do is draw and not be late. I should be better at this. Sure there's learning about the history of roman plumbing and trying to convince nasa to give me scuba lessons so i can draw weightless then send me into orbit to draw the earth from life. I really want to go to Patagonia or perhaps Antarctica... but what i have to do is draw and be on time. The biggest problem with my life drawing is that i tighten up when i draw the face. It often looks like two artists took turns: one drew the stiff head and the other drew the loose body. So I made myself hold my charcoal pencil the way i did in high school. which it like a piece of chalk. and i really tried to not think about the face. but I'm sick of my portfolio being filled with beautiful backsides and people looking away from me. So my drawing goal is to make my heads and bodies look like they belong together.

Here are 2 drawings from last night.

I like this the most....but you can't really see her face.

I was only happy with this because the face felt loose.

@ work- no spellcheck

There isn't really anything to do yet. I've been sitting around for 3 days. I can't complain thought. Perhaps i should work on my own ideas while I’m here.

I feel kind of sick today. Jose is one a diet that should cleanse his body of toxins in 2 weeks. So he has eaten real food in a while. Last night he drank 2 pints of warm sea saltwater and it "cleaned" himself out, he said. I didn't believe that would work so i drank it too. i thought i was going to pass out from the salt but i forced myself to finish it anyway. then i waited. nothing. nothing happen except me feeling like i was going to throw. I think my body absorbed the salt because I was craving water the whole night. I woke up and still wanted water. and sugar to balance. I keep feeling like sugar will fix it all.

Anyway before that saltwater thing happen. i came home last night to find a lamp from Jose's mother's house in our living room. I was very happy because now i won’t have to deal with "12 noon" happening when i turn on the overhead light. I cleaned up the corner for it by removing the 5 foot latter. on the other side of the room there sits a bookshelf with enough room near the wall to slip in the latter. there are some flatten boxes that need to be taken down stairs but its not a problem because there was still room. I tried to wedge the latter in but something was on the floor. i kicked it over. it was an Atari hiding behind the boxes in the latter's spot. I'm not sure if it came over with he lamp or if it has been there.

I started looking up video games today. I like games but i never play them. The ones I like the most are from the 80's. I finally found a still of Sneak N Peek. this was the very bad hide and seek game I remember playing. One player literally had to turn around while the other player hides, so they don’t see what’s happening onscreen. and if i remember this right...the music changes when the character goes outside to hide.

here is the still. there aren't a lot of places to hind in the livingroom. you could go under the couch or behind it.
