I don’t what to tell youse, the Internets, except that The Office finale was awesome, and so is River City Ransom.

Here’s another drawing from last week’s Met trip. These two statues are on either side of a wide entranceway of the European Sculpture courtyard where the Academy students make those really carefully rendered drawings of the statuary. I cheated them into some close interaction, changed the angles – you know. For kicks. For narrative. For love? Everyone who sees this says it’s a drawing of Girlf Caitlin and me.

Last week’s adventure was to the Met. It’s not as easy to just run around and find something you want to draw there as at Natural History, ’cause you really want to look. at. everything. We started in Egyptian and then we headed through Christian, so…

here’s St. Matthew, flanked by a lion for Mark and a bull [Ox! No balls! -Parsin' Pat] for Luke. I don’t know Christianity nearly as well as, say, someone who grew up Catholic, and I had no idea about the animal symbols for the Evangelists. They’re pretty cool. I redrew Mark and Luke from their fronts because I really liked how their animal hands were depicted clutching Bibles – the split hoof becoming a thumb and fingers is awesome. Yo! Art school! I just wrote “flanked” and “depicted!”

This week, oh buddy, ol’ pal o’ mine Dan and I went to the Museum of Natural History. We looked at Teddy Roosevelt’s horse’s balls, and drew cartoony animals. We both felt very proud of ourselves when the day ended, and we’re intent on going on more drawing adventures. It’s like art school again, but without the stress! Also, I finished my sketchbook, so look out for a different page shape popping up soon. Very exciting, I know.

Here’s my best page:
