Airborne today and heading back to the swamp - currently stuck in Colorado Springs, delayed flight to Dulles - but at least the view of the Rockies is awesome!

How a new drawing starts

For a while I have been taking images of the back of men and women to help me define a new piece... I need a "regular" image of the back of a "regular" person... which I will transport eventually into a drawing of a person at a museum looking at artwork...

This is a good example of a random lady in San Diego yesterday...

Wanna be the model for the pieces? I need several... Send me an image of you - full body and one of head and shoulders - from the back - preferably looking at a blank wall....

This is the anon model

This is more like she'll end up in my drawing
