When there are interesting looking characters around, I draw as many of them as I can. My latest style of blind drawing allows me to draw quickly.

Below is an example of a portrait with face parts, proportionate within themselves, but not properly assembled into a whole. The overall effect of this portrait reminds me of the alien character in the movie Alien.
I’m returning to displaying some of my photography. This next series is a continuation of my literal ‘street photography’, that I am perfecting through my visits to a myriad of local parking lots.
