Columbia, SC! The President is racing to make America first at being last; South Carolina republicans are racing to create their own Gilead, if you aren’t pissed yet you must be in denial. Eventually the fascists will target art and artists too. Please resist where you can! #art #unite #50501protest

Wow! I love this so much! It inspired me to pullout my pastels and try and capture that wonderful candlelight! #figuredrawing #figuredrawinginspiration #artmodel

Had to cut #figuredrawing short last night, but here are a couple short poses of Charlotte. #lifedrawing #charcoalfiguredrawing #art

Coffee and sketching. Like peanut butter and chocolate. #sketchdaily #dailtsketch #drawing #coffeeandart #figuredrawing

Such an amazing shot! Superwoman on her way to crush tyranny! Art is activism! #artnudephotography #artisticnude #beautifulart #artmodel

I am in Baltimore this weekend! I am a new grandpa if you can believe it, and I am finally meeting the newest member of my lineage. Most of my time is being spent in snuggle mode, but I did manage to get out and draw a bit while I sipped my coffee today. #sketchdaily #proudgrandpa #sketchbook

#dailysketch at the coffee shop. Ran out of time before work to finish, but O got a good start! Technically there is portrait in the figure so it counts, lol. Based on a gorgeous photo from www.instagram.com/shibariphoto... #art #sketchbook #figuredrawing #shibariart #artmodel #artisticnude

I’m not sure I will last to complete a hundred of these bad boys, but I’ll go till I’m bored at least, 😆. This one based on one of my jiu jitsu students who volunteered as tribute. #art #dailysketch #portraitsketch #figuredrawing #graphitedrawing

The colors 🍂🍁and that gorgeous pose!!! So inspirational😍

#dailysketch at the kava shop.

It’s been a rough month for me, but I did make it to #figuredrawing this week at least. Still trying to figure out this pastel thing. The model, Triston (www.instagram.com/model_tristo...) did an amazing job. #lifedrawing #pastellifedrawing #artmodel #maleartmodel #nudefiguredrawing

I’ve been pretty blue myself this past few weeks, hence the lack of being on here and sharing art. This beautiful blue pose made me smile, thought I’d share again😊💙 #figureart #artisticnudepgotography #artmodel #artnude #art #blue
