daily drawings weeks 18-23

hello hello - first a knot thread stitch note. i'm going to be on Creative Mojo with Mark Lipinksi - a live internet broadcast - next Wed. August 22 from about 1-2pm pacific time. i have NO IDEA what we'll be talking about besides the book-- we'll see...

OK. 6 weeks of drawings to catch up on. it's funny how some weeks i'm definitely more lazy or strapped for time than other weeks. but the whole idea is to just KEEP doing it. i'm prepping my syllabi for semester [starting in a little over a week. bye bye summer], and i'm teaching a beginning drawing class this time around. i'm going to have them do a sketchbook and they have to do something daily. at least this time i can tell them that hey - i'm doing it too ! see how lame some of my drawings are?!? the point isn't to shoot for greatness. the point is to do it. discipline and practice.

also just FYI if anyone is looking for an interesting take on the future of art school - i just downloaded and started reading a frances stark edited book. so far i really like it ! it's FREE too.
