I drew this portrait of Mike with a sepia pencil in my small (A5) parchment paper sketch book.
This sketch book is designed for drawings in ink.
Mike likes me because I once introduced him to a friend as a guitarist and most people introduce him as a plumber.
Easy call that one. I know ones' day job is about mere survival of the animal, a necessary evil and possibly good for meeting people and experiences and giving food for thought and dreams wheras ones' talent and passion is about expressing and nurturing the soul.
I was asked to make some illustrations for a counsellors resource booklet designed to help teenagers understand their raging emotions.. Good job for Sisyphus that one if you ask me but of course every generation must be taught or helped to fit into this strange and wonder full life.
