a small offering to get the ball rolling

my friend mina, who is basically the curator of my life, showed me an amazing show (now coming to HBO!) called Drunk History. The premise is this: get a historian really drunk, get them to talk about an historical event or person and then reenact it public-television style exactly as he or she tells it. history is awesome!

The amazing story of Tesla, featuring John C. Reilly and Crispin Glover

self portrait, age 23

places i have found paint on my person this morning:

- on the back of my left arm

- between my index finger and middle finger on my right hand

- the nail on my right middle finger

- my right upper leg

- my right shoulder

also i forgot to post this buddha painting

just one study from tonight



my head feels crammed with... something.

i want to paint more from life - someone come over and sit still for me for an hour

some life drawing from this month!



also, the first left on the second row was the sweetest animation model ever named scott. and the one directly underneath it is the pose i like to refer to as "zombie trying to gnaw on your shins". it's a classic.
