Study for a painting...

Had an old friend of mine over last night to draw. It was just like old times. Non stop drawing concentration, except without the smoke and hallucinations... Okay, it was almost as good. I've been planning a painting for some time now. I finally got down to making some studies for it last night. It's based on a dream, so that should explain the lack of realistic content.


On a slightly different note (in the same key), Melissa and I went to a gallery over the weekend to catch the show before it came down. The artist is Tom Huck, an amazing wood block printer. The Philip Slein Gallery, one of the best here in the STL was blowing out the prints, so we bought one. (It's in the dickhead series; "Papal Dickhead") It was our first major art purchase, and I'm very happy with it. I don't ever plan to sell the piece, but I know the value is going to skyrocket. Tom Huck is collected by the Whitney museum, The Art Institute of Chicago, Saint Louis Art Museum, and many more. Tom also did the cover of The Roots Phrenology.
