...a little traditional











...A little traditional just for a change, and 2 posts within a week!!! . These were models from my class at the Academy. Long poses, short ones and even shorter than the ones before, 10 secs. That day was a lot of fun, but we ended up exhausted...

Thank you Nicolas for your kind comment on my blog. Your work is beautiful, loose, stylish and diverse. I love your gesture drawings!

By the way...I also went to The Academy in SF and had Barbara Bradley as a teacher (graduated in 2000). I was in shock after I heard about her death, and her current students really must be in shock. Life can be freaky to say the least. She was a great teacher.
