    reality, its much more interesting than the American Fantasy thats made up of MTV, E!, National Enquirer, People Magazine, etc...

    the subjects i tend to pick are real people... with interesting faces or interesting stories. i go into the city and walk around and mostly just drop in on the art galleries, take photos of people with dogs and some asshole eating a chili dog, sipping a beer.... ill ride the subway and stare at people, sketch them, watch them get weirded out and get on the next car. after all, i'm on winter break so i got nothing better to do...

    going to a figure drawing class on wednesday, found it on craigslist.

    Oh I agree! Reality is so much more interesting, no question about it. I was simply saying that if I really wanted to sell artwork, I would have better luck at making some sort of profit by making stuff the masses would "appreciate". But I take it back. I don't think I could ever compromise my artistic ability and change the statement of who I am as a person and artist just to appeal to others. If they like what I create, so be it. If they think it's dumb, so be it as well.

    I love people watching too. Going to public shopping areas during christmas is especially entertaining. My favorite place to watch people is downtown portland oregon. I swear, it is a town of individuals and creatives. Saturday market is swarming with interesting looking people.

    I love that portrait! In the first picture, I didn't realize that you used words to shade. It is beautiful, keep up the great work! :D
