Andrew posing at Cafe Flore






A few good life drawings of Andrew Pembroke aka Drew Bacchae from yesterday evening at Cafe Flore. Andrew hadn't modeled in this way for a while and the space was very different from the Rec Center but the session was as good as anticipated and more.




More of Andrew at Cafe Flore yesterday, a new life drawing session organized by the seemingly indefatigable Thomasina DeMaio. Andrew was in fine form (but I started off with too fine a pencil). Here are eight 3 minute poses on three sheets.

SUZY drawn from LIFE




Two more sheets of 3 minute figure drawings. Suzy tended to strike the same fabulous pose again and again, even when she didn't, which I was able to work with. I'm not unhappy with the results. I kept thinking of Bill de Kooning.




Happily back to life drawing on Saturday after three weeks absence. Here, three drawings of Suzy, not fully nude but sometimes partially, and playing with lingerie and costume; anyway it seemed a new experience for her.

Adán en Laguna Beach
















Adán was the subject of my most popular post on tumblr and of course I was forced to remove it after the regime change.  Here are some older pictures from his late teen years in Laguna Beach... and maybe a few after.  I hear he’s in Colorado now with a degree in Sports Medicine and a certificate from the Culinary Academy.  Considering that his life in porn only lasted a few years and that he only worked for a couple of small time fringe outfits (BiLatinMen & LatinBoyz) he managed to pay for a fair amount of education.

Cheap Art Subway Kiosk


Some paintings from more than 25 years ago as shown in a subway kiosk in Germany.  It had been a Show in Hamburg in a kiosk at a subway station, called “sei dabei”…with Max Schuman, Peter Cramer, Jack Waters…  The Life Model was Donald, who used to bang on my street door for a cup of coffee. He still wanders Divisadero. Most Cowboys don’t like fences… A la mayoría de los vaqueros no les gustan las cercas.

Life drawings of Derron Thweatt





Three drawings of Derron Thweatt using the stairs from last Saturday's drawing session at Eureka Valley Rec, the last I'll attend for a few weeks as I'm headed to the East Coast tomorrow. (I'll have to redraw them, placing the figures on the steps of a Brooklyn Brownstone.)




Drawings of the 3 minute poses Derron performed last Saturday, five poses using a fan and three with his robe, all very lovely.

Virginia Madsen as Irulan







Virginia Madsen was born 11 September 1961. A beginning is a very delicate time.
