#Achilles was able to avoid the Trojan War early on because his mama dressed him up as a girl where he hid out with princesses on an island.
#Odysseus pulled a fast one to reveal who he was and the rest is... History? Herstory? regardless, it is #Epic.

The de Kooning show at the @artinstitutechi.bsky.social was a stunner. He is an omnivore. There’s an Archaic Greek sculpture in one sketch. He’s an ancient buried in an archeological pit and ultimately becomes the young kid digging and scraping out the artifacts.

A single session to get this one, wanting to loosen up and be in the moment. And left my glasses at home, an unexpected grace. #studiolife #painting #stilllife #floral

Demo for #drawingclass as the semester nears the end. Large, ~5 minutes with vine #charcoal
It's one thing to explain, whole other level to show (and closer the edge of disaster).

From last night's #lifedrawing class featuring Mane Mkhitaryan on violin and accompanied on cello. This jam set a vibe of the highest order for playing #charcoal like a slide guitar.
Appreciations to these ladies...

Like a Boss because he IS the Boss-
“Just don’t believe your eyes
It’s our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies…”
“Just don’t believe your eyes
It’s our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies…”
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
