We are all reading Lynda Barry’s new book Syllabus and working through many of her exercises, acting as support group for each other. John also shared the stuff he’s been doing from Ivan Brunetti’s book […]

Semi-blind contour drawing done while looking in the mirror. I seem to be having a “thing” about extra-long chins this week.

AEDM Day 14: Happy Birthday, Rita

IPad sketch of my mother Rita, from a 1960s photo. She would have been 74 today. She died at 58, not much older than I am now.
