Lesli at Hipbone

Ink on Paper
Works from my sketchbook, created at Hipbone Studio in Portland, Oregon. I took the bus down to Hipbone today sporting my new sketchbook and a travel case with three paintings for Jeff to pick from. The one’s on the wall had been there since last year. Time for new blood. He picked two. They are on the wall at Hipbone at just in time for the Valentine’s day show.
Lesli was the model today, lots of fun to sketch in pen and ink. I broke Jeff’s chair, the camper that’s so close to the floor. I blame metal fatigue or too many drunken noodles.
