an oldie but goodie, very loosely referenced from a photo in Vice mag although i think life would be a little bit cooler if we all looked more like this.
looking through art from last year, i really like where this was going. especially dig the hands.

a new version of agatha christie's The Orient Express is on tonight, quick - everyone make up a fresh pot of tea!
little known fact: i have a serious obsession with agatha christie tv mysteries.
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!
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

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.
