People are so quick to point the finger when others treat them badly that they fail to realize that they themselves can be assholes sometimes. Take me, for instance. I would hope that most folks think I’m a nice gal, but that doesn’t mean I’m incapable of being a pill when a situation arises. As one inevitably did last Friday night: The scene was Dynamic Circus, a figure drawing workshop… Read More »Whoa, what’s with her all of a sudden?
Went to Nelson Creative Spaces with the illustrator dream team Leen Isabel and Nguyen Dong for Tiki Girl, a themed costume life drawing event hosted by Pierre Bernard. The model of the evening was Jennifer Fabos Patton, who is practically Queen of the Gallery Girls, so a successful turnout was inevitable. I was satisfied with the fruits of my labor, of ballpoint pen etchings over failed attempts with Palomino Blackwing… Read More »Tiki Girl

Their makeup artist was present as well, curious to see how people were depicting her handiwork. Among the artists that night were select members of Girls Drawin’ Girls, including… Read More »Sugar Plum Fairy and a shout-out to Leen Isabel
“Classic Pin-Ups” was the theme at Gallery Godo last Friday night, where I was hit with some bad news, and then good. Bad news: from what I overheard Gallery Girls model Jennifer Patton telling my friend Pierre Bernard, it was Gallery Godo’s final late night drawing event, as the gallery was closing its doors indefinitely. Good news: the late night drawing events will now be held at the Animation Guild,… Read More »Classic Pin-Ups: Gallery Godo’s final late night drawing event
My Canon G12 is out of commission at the moment, so we’ll have to deal with these crappy iPhone photos for now. Anyway, Titmouse has these figure drawing sessions that are normally reserved for the studio’s artists only, but Ben Li was kind enough to get me in on last night’s gathering, which was seriously awesome because the stunning Miss Mosh was the model of the evening! I’ve been a… Read More »Figure drawings from Titmouse – featuring Miss Mosh!
