Which leads me to what this should become, I am really not sure.
There are some blogs I have found that post an illustration a day or where the author takes photos of themselves in crazy outfits. I think those concepts work because there is always new information. I think this should be my first goal: to post more regularly.
With all that said...
Below is an ink drawing I did while visiting a girlfriend when she was in Anglet, France last spring. She was very busy being a model, brand representative and surfer. While she collapsed for an afternoon nap, to prepare for the crazy evening ahead, I made this:
I sat outside on the picnic table working in pencil and then in ink. It could be my friend sleeping, it could be me. I do still feel like I am sleeping at times, waiting and wanting someone to wake me up.There are always more layers to my paintings. It is difficult to peel them back to share the whole story. I think I prefer that people are able to make their own story or connection within my work, to keep parts of the story to myself. Which is strange because I do want to share. I think that is part of my impasse with a blog, how much to share.
(While looking for an image of this piece I realized I already posted it back in July 2008. Which made me want to erase the whole post. I decided not to, I re-read the old post and this one is more interesting. Also perhaps it is better to begin again with something old.)
