first four from the plane. last three from before - waiting for words, but they never came - and to be honest the blabbering in the first few seems a little forced, but given my travel schedule over the past 6 days, i am not going to beat myself or anyone else up for it.

if anyone has any suggestions on how to maintain the color/light of a drawing like this and the third one from yesterday's post when scanning, please advise. with simple pen drawings (meaning no added color to provide contrast) the image gets terribly washed out and i cannot maintain the hue of the paper (brown) - same paper as seen in the drawings from august 10.
i am working on an HP consumer model scanner. i know, i know, but it's what i've got.
much obliged.

top three things learned this weekend:
1. rapidograph over gouache is cut butter
2. hard edge bubble letters are a useful but spent trope
3. watch the road

a few days of brown paper, coffee shops and jews.

p.s. my scanner is acting up.

a risk. a few of these are experiments, in progress, and are well on the road to failure. but. learning a thing or two about failure recently, i've decided to keep trying. if not for the final product, for the process.

a month or so ago, in bob hope airport, on a plane trip from la to oakland, i lost a moleskin. as i remember it, it contained some of the best sketches to date. more likely it contained maybe 3 or 4 warbly attempts at neck napes and a couple thoughts on narcissism. the airport lost and found claimed they had it, and sent it to me. but what i got in the mail was not mine. it was a lined moleskin containing classroom notes on two things:
art history and sexual reproduction.
judging by the handwriting and equal focus on both topics, i am going to assume this moleskin was owned by a female.
if this is your moleskin, please let me know.
if you have my moleskin, please let me know.
we can trade back.
i promise, i only tore out the good parts.



nonies everywhere, and i suppose everyone has one:
