Fall Life Drawing Begins

In tonight's life drawing lecture, Margaret Hurst showed Paul Klee.
His quote "A drawing is simply a line going for a walk" is the best reminder to...let it go...

Drawing Music :: So Percussion & Matmos : A John Cage Celebration at Carnegie Hall

"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. 

I'm frightened of the old ones." 

~ John Cage

Back in March, So Percussion and Matmos (with Dan Deacon, Cenk Ergün and Beth Meyers) celebrated John Cage's 100th birthday at Carnegie Hall. The show had many surprises. So's Josh Quillen shaved a beard, for example, half-way through the concert. Also, Eric Beach was cutting celery under a mic. My favorite instruments that night, aside form vegetables and already familiar cactus, were large conch shells filled with water. 91 minutes of wow. Here are some drawn memories.

Disney Performers

There are musicians and performers all over Disney. They bring so much life and character to the parks! They pop in and out of nowhere, and I drop everything to chase them around. Here are a few drawings.

Rain Or Shine

Temple of Heaven, China

There is something about rain drops on paper that just make the drawing sing. A storm came and went while I did this panoramic in Chinese pavilion of Epcot in Walt Disney World. By the time I was done, people stomped already dry pavement in glistening sun.
