Wow, that is really great to hear. I suppose that if I wanted to be a Renaissance Man, I should try to devise a flying machine that can expediently send one to Mars. Things are good. Struggling with a cold right now. Messing with an open tuning on the guitar.

I sympathize about the cold. (Just getting out of whooping cough!) You are a true Renaissance man already.

Thank you! Always trying to improve my abilities. Been playing my trap set, (drum set) today. Also it is highly possible that I will draw more too. 🙂

I’ve plugged my keyboard back on after 10 or 15 years. I can still play “au clair de la lune” but that’s it. I may go back to reading/playing music again. And your drawings have made me think of buying “fusains”.

I highly encourage you to start making music again. I never have liked the feel of charcoal pencils. To me, it is like scratching my hands down a chalk board. “Screeeechhh” 🙂

I’ll do my best about music. Never was good anyway. Maybe that’s the origin of my lack of motivation? So arrogant I cannot spend time on something I’m not good at? 😉 Or maybe I’m just choosing my battles? Chalkboard? Eeeech indeed. I like the sahdows one can make with fusain, but it easily becomes messy with the passing of the hand. I also like “simple” lead pencils.

Well, what is great about Art, is that you can do almost anything for material. How about cigarette ashes for gray tones? I do music, despite the fact that it is not my strong suit. I will put the music back into the oven, practice, hopefully, it will be cooked 🙂

I like the… metaphor… basically any good work in anything is based on repetition. Do it again and again and again, until you can do it with yours closed. There was a Belgian cartoonist who told his pupils: Do not look at your paper when you are drawing. Not even a glance. Only look at the model… (Until it is cooked)

Love that idea…I call that sort of drawing while not looking, Blind Contour Drawing.. I had a friend who sat around, doing Blind Contour Drawings of Clouds… That is how free she was, also that endless..
