More Blindness to the Obvious

November 17, 2010

Digging through some historical paintings - and finding what elements they didn't draw. Did they not want to, or were they not aware of them?..

Irina and a Sketched Sketchmeet Sketch

November 14, 2010

Here is another portrait from my Friday-sessions. And a little sketch from the last Sketchgroup – the meeting of conceptartist and draftsmen from Holland. This time we’ve met in Rotterdam. Good times, even if not as productive as last time.
