What a Happenstance! I was reading about Jacques Le Coq’s Seven Stages of Tension. For further reading, I was referred to a book of his that not only mentioned #gesture #croquis but also how mimetic movements are connected to early childhood communication, both of which I am interested in. And then, curiously enough, @happenstancetheater posted that they were performing just this very morning! I had to attend! Immensely delightful, as usual! I highly recommend any of their performances, which they list on their website. #physicalcomedy #jacqueslecoq #gesture

I was reading more about Jacques Lecoq and plan on getting a second book of his. He was a visionary in physical movement and physical theater.

What I didn’t know was his writings on two things that are very close to two different sides of what I do: Gesture Drawing (for Animation) and Early Childhood development and mimetic movement (mime).

Mind blown. 🤯

I feel like a Simpson. #practicewithmePainting

I’m writing my ‘farewells’ to my graduates and I’ve been listening to ‘One Small Voice’ by Kenny Loggins & Sesame Street Chorus. 😭😭😭

Just in time for summer, the long hair style that I’ve had for the past six years has transitioned into a shorter, classic cut. Thank you, @ tahasethh for your skills and artistry! #curls #cut #penandink #vidalsassoon

#PracticeWithMe : a new project where I invite you to share your practice with me as I share with you. Post your drawing or cursive or painting or animation and tag me and use #practicewithme so I understand what’s happening.

#PracticeWithMe is for anyone who has thought : I’d like to get better at writing in cursive, I’d like to get better at drawing, painting or animation but then thought, I’d like a group to share it with.

Let the hashtag be your group. Available on Tumblr and BlueSky.

Portrait. Dad, No. 2: Smiling eyes are hard to see behind sunglasses. Dad and Mom down by the Bay at sunset, taking their first ‘ussie’. #portrait #dad #drawing #practice

So begins a portrait series of my Dad. This is No. 1. I would like to refine my ability to portray him as he looked. It’s hard to convey a person in their entirety in a portrait, so often I will seek out one thing that seems to be a defining feature. Curiously, I think it is his nose. He has his mother’s nose (Nana). #portrait #Dad

Found some Art Stix I had bought quite a while ago. Since I’ve re-discovered an interest in portraits, I thought I would play with some facial anatomy. This isn’t anyone in particular, making the face a bit generic. We shall see.

Went to a deli today for a quick bite. Saw some people as I was waiting. Here they are. #drawing #urbansketch #bystanders #Saturdaysketch

I’m going to call this ‘Coffee! Table!’ because those were the words I recall saying. #dailycomic #sliceoflife #coffeespill #mishap #indiecomic (I don’t have the energy right now to separate out the individual panels so I hope you can zoom in).

This is part of my #PracticeWithMe project.

I invite others who would like to practice to share with others … and me.

Practicing can be stressful if you approach it with the idea that you haven’t met your expectations. However, consider that it is through practice that you bring your imperfect creativity which can have an incandescent effect. Practice is a form of exploration that allows you to be really you. It is a form of self expression.

In a world with automated machines sifting work to make something perfect, the human hand and the human brain experimenting through practice is truly beautiful to me. I believe it has what I call spirit, what others might call soul. #practicewithmepainting

Zoning out on a ride share bike, waiting for friends who are buying sodas at the convenience market. A few more teens gather to say hi.
