bye!

At the airport with a new sketchbook. In a couple weeks I'll be back in ny to spend some quality time with my scanner and some completed sketchbooks. Exhausted.
My thesis work is going into this direction of my synthetic relationship to Japan and my heritage - memory paintings that
come more from video games, samurai film, and anime than from actual
memory.
The closest to successful painting of the semester. 78"x48", oil on
canvas.
2 days until the theater of end-of-term critiques. After which, I will have time to scan and upload the 4 finished sketchbooks that are sitting around, maybe do some grocery shopping, laundry, write about that Jenny Saville workshop, show what I've been painting and all that.
From left to right (all in progress), orange soda funeral, runaway train never comin back, (top) what's so important that you must google at 3 am, exercise from Jenny Saville workshop.
Over the past two days I had the good fortune to partake in a painting workshop with Jenny Saville. I'll write more later and share some photos, but quickly, she's a remarkable, kind, generous woman and it was a transformative couple of days (I think). She's everything you'd hope one of your favorite artists would be.
Also, she is surprisingly short.
