atramentous

2012 sketchbooks, looking at perspective and figures still. Just drawing whenever anyone stayed still long enough or held a pose for more than half a minute...led to some very strange drawings in my books actually. People often referred to them as scribbles, which is fair enough.

"Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery, if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just Tribute to the Memory of BOATSWAIN, a Dog"

John Cam Hobhouse

"The world there was the flat world of the ancients; to the east, a cornfield that stretched to daybreak; to the west, a corral that reached to the sunset; between, the conquests of peace, dearer-bought than those of war."

Willa Cather
