Semi-blind Contour Drawings of strangers and friends
At Futures Bistro. The second last drawing is a quick scribble of a bike courier stopped at a light outside. The last drawing is of longtime comic-jammer Scott, who we saw walking by and dragged in to join Dalton, Oliver and me.

Drawing with pencil
Looking at family photos, great practice. Wedding photo of my sister-in-law Marina.

The night of the Blind Contour
Wednesday drawing with Oliver in the bistro was all blind contour. So great! And yeah, I cheated on the profiles, glancing to reposition my pen. The last one, of course, I drew the hair in separately. Surreptitious side glancing.

Another misdrawn Dalton
Ill add this to the pile of terrible drawings I have made of Dalton that look nothing like him. Bind contour! Some fun with the pencil crayons anyway. He stares at me with those accusing eyes from beyond the sketchbook! No! I’m sorry, Dalton! You must forgive me!

Blind Contour Nephew

I Bought a Subway Sketch by Gabrielle Bell
On a whim I bid on one of Gabrielle Bell‘s Subway Sketches on Ebay, never thinking I would win it, but I did. And then I put it on the credit card. And then our cell phone bill payment bounced. No reason. I am such a huge fan of her work, I’m really grateful to…

Futures Bistro With Oliver
This is a person sitting behind Oliver, engrossed with his writing. A great way to practice, using tiny coloured pencils.

Two hour pose
