Drawing in Los Angeles
- There is no food in LA that flies closer to the surface of the sun than the hot dog wrapped in American cheese and deep fried in a won ton wrapper, also known as THE BULL DOG, from Yaki’s Teriyaki. You’re welcome/I’m sorry for this forbidden knowledge.
- These things are so intense I only eat one of these a year and spend the other 364 days begging God for forgiveness.
- The year is 2026 and I am sending my AD a gif of tuxedo mask because I have gone so deep into professionalism I have come out the other side a silly little clown.
- This is also how some clients have tried to hide the fact that they are attempting to *lower* their rates on me lol. I always ask for a breakdown, or I supply one for them so they see how their math is not adding up on my end for my labor costs.
- You come to MY inbox, and try to pull one over on ME? Not today, not in this economy.
- I’ve entered the stage in my life where so many of the people who shaped my youth are leaving us. RIP you absolute queen, nobody did comedy or committed to the bit like you did
- Absolutely buck wild to me that @bsky.app adds a sexual content warning to figure drawings of a woman just existing in her body.
- Tagging artwork is especially funny to me because, at the end of the day, these are just abstract graphite lines on a flat piece of paper to represent a human body, it's not even a photo, so @bsky.app is scandalized just by the *idea* of tits
- Me in Los Angeles reading about how cold all of you are in the rest of America.
- Don’t worry guys when it’s 104 degrees in October for five days straight I will get my comeuppance.
- Some figure drawings from last night at a friend’s newly organized session. Not a productive night for me, I didn’t have it, but I somewhat landed the plane on these ⚰️
- Donald always asks me how my figure drawing sessions go and what is there to say other than “a progressive series of failures with moments of brief revelation.”
