Day 22, another skipped.

I don't know how Warren does it. He has hit every single oneof his deadlines for 157 days straight. It is so much harder than it looks. Yesterday I was distracted by 8 loads of laundry, 3/4 of which I brought home to dry in my dryer. Seems like a pretty wimpy excuse, Especially when I am pulling from previously done work. Anyway on to the task at hand.

You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.

"The Gypsy" was done in the 1980's at a drawing marathon. This part of the pose was the interesting part for me.  I enjoy working with graphite, although it is messy and hard to keep clean. I likely did this on site, and it was probably a long pose of an hour or so. But I would have finished the details at home. but I can tell from looking at it I was working pretty fast. (for me. . .)

Day 17

All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography.

Federico Fellini

That is such a true statement. And as I get older, when I do art, I try to make it as close to my vision as I can. I perceive illustration and design as the points where my vision merges with someone else's. Not always easy, but always interesting. 

This is mixed media: watercolor, colored pencil and felt tip pen.  Circa 1991 to 1995. I cut the bag of runes out and put them in my current Photoshop assignment. I will post that in a couple of days.
