"A Taste of Touchstone"

News flash! I'm teaching a portrait drawing course in September and there's a show opening next week to showcase all the talented professionals who will also be teaching at Touchstone Center For Crafts in Farmington, PA alongside me. You may remember these two from the glory days of "Bathhouse" and in case you didn't see them then, this is your second chance. They'll be chillin at the Saville Gallery from February 3rd-17th. Opening night is February 10th.

 Here's a little sneak peek at the catalog my class is included in. For more info, hit the LINK

Hot Child in the City

This piece has taken me 3 years to make and it feels ridiculous considering it's no different than anything else I've churned out in that time frame. You'd probably expect some magnum opus but it's just all about time, baby. Always slipping away. I remember it being kind of a tough summer that year in New York and when it's hot in the city people can be at their absolute worst. This is how I saw it a lot those few blistering months. 

These were the very first sketches from 3 years ago when I initially started to plan out this piece.

Maybe this is why it took so long: Revolutionary techniques!
