8″ X 8″ Oil
2009
Its like every 5 or so years, I go to the bottom of the pile and find work that I’ve done and have forgotten about. I’ve lost contact with my initial intentions (or disappointment) and find something new to appreciate.
Spoken word events, a forum for Caribbean writers, over 200 exhibit booths, music, panel discussions and children’s activities will be on hand at the Harlem Book Fair. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday in the city.
“The vision of the Harlem Book Fair is to partner with local 
and national leadership organizations under the banner of literacy
awareness, affirming HBF as the nation’s largest African American
literary event celebrating family literacy, community empowerment,
and community cooperation. “

It is not often that we consider how other people see the world. We invade, impose, talk over, hover and seek to dominate others and they in turn do the same thing. Most times it is just equal push back. Nobody wins and or loses, except when we play the same game with children.
In his “Where the Wild Things Are” Maurice Sendak, who passed away in 2012, reminded many of us about how changeling is to be child.
A Big Thanks To Max!
Working quickly capturing two models in short poses is a great drill. You have to make a decision about what is important in what you are seeing and want to capture on paper. You have to think fast and draw slow. Recently I’ve gotten to work with two drawing models, this was a five minute pose.

Being uncomfortable is most often thought of as a way to have a breakthrough on what ever kind of creativity process you are working on.
After struggling for the last month or so, I am not so sure that being uncomfortable is everyone’s salvation.
