Updates through drawings...

Today I was sitting up on the terazza and I decided to try drawing the view. I've been drawing so many people I thought it might be good to try something else and not be intimidated about it. (I find perspective especially intimidating at times.) I spent a while just drawing the metal railing in front, and was so focused on that. Suddenly I decided to continue the rest of the drawing and I saw how many buildings there really were. Everywhere. It was so interesting to see all these little details everywhere, like the water tanks on the roofs and the broken windows on a far away building. I was drawing one wall when a cat jumped down on it, and next to it I saw a family in a doorway of an even farther building. It was like looking out at a stage, with life performing.


I drew this for Javi's birthday a couple of weeks ago. Tute, Javi, Paul, and John.



This was a while ago at the Casa Convivial, Patrizio sitting with a Quilmes next to him. We drink so many quilmes, all day e'ry day.

This is Riley looking over the canyon we walked to see in Cordoba. El parque nacional quebrada del conodorito. It was a two hour walk through countryside, resulting in many many sunburns. At the end we ate a quick lunch and sat trying to spot Condors, I'm not sure if we were successful...but I think so.
