Today we headed to Fells Point to draw. It was warm and sunny out which led to a couple of drawings I am really happy with. I am drawing with a Pentel brush pen in an Archie Grand Jumbo sketchbook which opens up to a generous spread of 16″ x 24″.

The tree is shaded with a photoshop brush. The three images to the left of the tree are done separately and dropped into photoshop.
My students take their time in getting scanned work to me, but here is a link to the Visual Journalism Blog. You can also check out the blog of Aaron Provost, who updates his location work weekly. Go Aaron!
The brilliant No Fear of the Future blog explores an under-researched area of film theory: entirely random appearances by famous writers in movies. I dig the imaginary Love Boat episode where "an enfeebled Jorge Luis Borges" plays himself in a script that could fit perfectly inside a Borges story. (Thanks Ed Champion for the link).
Politics is already a lot like a reality show. Now MySpace is building a reality televsion show where aspiring politicians compete to win election campaign funds. Salvation for a politically apathetic nation or the last gasp of an image-conscious political scene? Don't ask me, ask Steve Bryant.
Steve also informed me that we both live in the bloggiest neighborhood in the country. If you want to move to Clinton Hill with us, do it soon--rents are climbing faster than an out-of control rocketship.

Really dig that first drawing a lot. The addition of the helo is so simple a thing but something that really helps fill out the composition nicely. I’ll have to remember that when on location in B-more, especially with how common they are in the air. At least when it’s not raining that is…
Thanks Aaron. No problem! It’s nice to see your drawings and document your progress through your blog.
I try to incorporate little details that come along throughout the drawing. The helicopter passed over and I had to act quickly to get that detail in. It does make the difference between making a nice drawing and really capturing a moment in time. I need to fill in those fences eventually….
