Did this a couple of weeks ago, over looked it, but here it is. You can never draw enough hands.

Blind
This is Polyphemus the cyclops? blinded by Odysseus, the reference is from an image on Wikipedia I was just doodling but with this one I have a sense of resonance – simply that this is an odyssey, to do these sketches, and they do take me places.
The blindness is getting to me. I have two dream posts (see category) one is called “blind” and another is similar, and is calling for glasses. What is that? I would love to have more clarity, certainty, solidity!

Patterns
Exploring my tools, allows my unconscious to flow through, no idea where this came from.
~
Young Woman
I think it caught a moment of bashfulness I saw.
~
Performer
Looking for more freedom & sketchiness. No reference other than what came out of my hand – not even head.
~
Travellers
The reference for this was a small photo on the web, origins unknown.

Mondo
Sitting in the café, thinking that the best thing to sketch would be people walking past, and I did a few, but this is the only one worth posting. It led me on to drawing people & there are a few more coming up.

Old Eli
He is getting old. We are noticing it by the day. Today walking around the park he had real trouble with a hind leg. They have short lives!

Elvis
1. I just read a great book.
2. The topic came up in a forum I am in.
3. I had the digital liquid ink pen in my hand & I could not help it.
4. It just occurred to me it would be fun to try an Elvis tag.
5. I am a fan!
6. Elvis looks like David, the classic artist subject.
How would it look printed on pure pink velvet?
The book of course is Tarzan Presley, by Nigel Cox, a great book with a few legal constrains around it, out of print & selling now for hundreds of $ – I have one & just finished it. The Elvis backstory is just right, he grew up with the apes in New Zealand!
