Drawing figures from imagination. So this is like almost foreign to me; drawing with pencil. I haven't been drawing for about a month (going through a tremendous life change) however yesterday I stopped by a stationary (I can't pass up a stationary store without stopping in - just not going to happen.. EVER OKAY?!!!) store in San Francisco and purchased a really nice 6B pencils (just to buy myself something hoping it would stimulate some creativity). When I returned home that pencil called me to my new sketchbook I bought a month ago (before the hiatus) which I had only wrote some astrology chart stuff in so far. This drawing took about 2.5 - 3 hours and it just came out in one long session (no interruptions). 


There are some figures (male and Female), planets and a rope. I have started on another drawing with the same type of theme and style. I'm still meditating on what it all means. So far, I do know it has to do with how most men operate on a low vibrational level (typically giving in to there lower desires). The drawings to come will express this observation more. 


So much deeper

I taught another drawing workshop in San Francisco today where I drew my new friend Hujie again, as she drew me. Our sessions are becoming deeper as we sit and stare at each other while dragging the pen quietly around the paper.

She is from China and from what I understand is a well known artist there. She has a book published and the whole nine. Its sweet how we are from different walks of life, don't understand each others spoken language yet we bond so sacredly through art.

I tried a different style today where I suggest the curvatures in her face with fine lines.

It was a beautiful session today.

Check out this interview with me by Avy Jetter... I reveal some interesting, personal info for the first time (publicly).

This lady was drawing me as I was drawing her during one of my workshops in San Francisco. So Cute! She spoke no english at all and just watched me in the beginning, I thought she wasn't interested but after my demonstrations she grabbed a pencil and drew with me with a concentration as if she was an old master. I mean she drew with confidence! She looked up at me every other second didn't seem a bit nervous as to what I may have thought about her skill level. At  the end she showed me the drawing, stared at me deeply  and bursted into a cloud of laughter when I began to smile. It was so cute how she grabbed the drawing and spoke about it in chinese though I don't know a word of it... wonder if she caught on to that by my nonverbal smiles and nods. A true golden moment in time where art created a friendship that would have otherwise probably not have happened.
