Black Sharpie on manila paper
Miami 2010
I lived in Miami for a few years. I rented a small apartment right on the bay. It was lovely. Iguanas and land crabs used to wander around the yard. Beat that!
Miami has some of the most lovely beaches on earth. I used to hang out at oceanside cafes sipping esspresso coffee and drawing.
Back then my main art tool was the ultra fine black sharpie.
I was into drawing what to me were guilts. Crisp black and white drawings done off the cuff. I drew a bunch of them.
Here's another one.

A drawing from yesterday's drawing.
Last night I slept well. Very well. I woke up this morning with that well slept glow.
And then I had the most wonderful cup of coffee.
A fresh cup of coffee on top of a well slept glow is Van Nuys.
Van Nuys indeed.

After Egon Schiele
Pencil drawing
Calbayog City 2024
Egon Schiele was the bad boy of European art but he drew like an angel. Redrawing his art is a double edged sword. I learn so much from his drawing but I am forever humbled by his genius. He created masterpieces while still in his teens. He gave us nearly 4000 works of art and then he died tragically at 28. Damn.

Our kitten invasion continues. There are three of them. All three grey and white and all three little bundes of kitten energy.
And cute.
I call this one Spider.

Black sharpie in my moleskin
Earwax cafe Chicago, 2000
Is the Earwax cafe still open? Anyone in Chicago? I used to go there and drink esspresso coffee and doodle in my moleskin.
Sipping a warm cup of coffee while just outside there'd be a raging cold midwestern blizzard. I loved Chicago.
