Is there some kind of conference on? Because there seems to be an unusual number of professorial-looking people on the Jubilee line these days.

Burlesque Life Drawing
sydney April 28th, 2009
Fun night of life drawing with a burlesque-costumed model with the London Life Drawing Society… I always wind up doing my best drawings of everyone but the model!

I did masses of drawings but only a fraction of the ones I wanted to, with the amazing costumes and scenes and horses and objects everywhere! Mostly I focused on the costume for this trip, here’s a couple of pages:
Long Time No Post
sydney March 31st, 2008

City Farm
sydney August 12th, 2007
I’ve been meaning to draw at the local mini-farm for ages. There was one rooster with a hideous but useful disease which revealed some of his featherless anatomy in a kind of cross-section.
