PS, I took some advice from France B and completed this self portrait.
Oh, I noticed that the drawing in my sketchbook behind this one is showing through, giving me that varicose vein look! :) I fixed it on my blog.
This is a drawing of the so called 'Head of a Roman Citizen'. Done in graphite pencil in 12 hours approximately.

"Голова римского гражданина"... получилась похожей на Цезаря ))
Difference in the pencil tips between a premium Japanese pencil and a recycled pencil after sharpening with the same electric sharpener. Blog entry.
Otra sesión de dibujo del natural en Ca'n Danus con nuestro Urban Sketcher Feliu a la izda.
Another nude session at Ca'n Danus with our fellow Urban Sketcher Feliu at left.
Everyone is free to print this and plaster it all over the place (as all good Sherlock fans kindda should :P) just do NOT pass it off as your own or make a profit out of it!

we stopped by the big time event at the hammer museum last night.
while the event was a bit of a dud, the trip was absolutely worth it, for nothing else than to experience the marvellous drawings of vija celmins.
her work is really impressive – very labour-intensive - all about the process and less about the represented image itself.
this particular work is based on a series of the artist’s own photographs, taken from the venice pier. her technique involves laying down an acrylic wash (thus creating a discrete edge on the paper that separates the represented image from actual material), followed by the application of graphite strokes. that said, her approach also involves the removal of some of the graphite, which i think is really exciting. aspects of her drawings are produced in a method that is similar to certain kinds of sculpture – where the emphasis is placed on removal (by way of erasing) rather than addition.
as one stands closer to the illustration, this technique becomes increasingly apparent - the pencil strokes emerge in the details - though at the same time, the image itself becomes more abstract.
ach, i don’t have my brain on yet, so please excuse the inarticulate description of her process. go see the work yourself. as i wrote, it is very labour-intensive but also very meditative.
she has referred to her work as ‘portraits’ of the original images.
"Silver Strut" - graphite drawing on 11" x 14" bristol board. So named because of graphite's silvery color and the horse's gait. Original and prints for sale. Contact me if interested.

i remember learning this kind of technique during illustration courses at university, but of course, it’s something that i’ve completely forgotten over time. how nice to be reminded.
Logan drew this for me a couple of weeks ago and I completely forgot that I promised him I would post it here. He hasn't sketched anything in a long time and I just bought him a new sketch book, hoping to lure him away from "Call of Duty" and "Guitar Hero". I want to enter some more of his sketches in the fair again this year.
Anyway, here ya go. I love the peace sign. He knows me so well :-)
