Hey guys,

This is my first finished drawing for some time, after normally cranking one out every couple of weeks.

Went through a depressive period where I did'nt touch a pencil for almost a month. I was tired all the time and I was even going to sleep before 11pm. Took a family vacation to Williamsburg, VA and came back feeling much better. The depression may have been triggered by the weather (humidity) and hours spent tattooing.

I'm glad to say that I've found an oil painting class Monday nights that remarkably fits into my schedule. I've never tried oils, but I bought some Harding's and W&N brushes and am looking foward to creating some awful pieces. The nice stuff may come at a MUCH later date. Wish me luck.

Anyway, the latest drawing is 15"x17", graphite and white charcoal on 'fawn' colored Stonehenge paper. Thanks for looking.
