Sex and Death

Received this card yesterday from an old friend and fellow MECA alum, Joe McVetty. For those of you who live in or near Portland, go see Joe's show in February! His drawings are phenomenal!

Mary, Marilyn, and Me

There's no prayer like desire. Tom Waits

I spent the afternoon in my studio yesterday for the first time in months. I had a strong urge to draw with charcoal and used some portraits by El Greco and some 60's magazine images of Marilyn Monroe as a jumping off place to begin this series of drawings on sex, religion, and desire.
