This is a portrait of a Twitter friend @heniadis. He has always been one of my most enthusiastic supporters of my weird steampunk heads. He has a series of portraits on the web called Portrait A Day  so it was very easy for me to get some pictures of him to do this portrait. Or at least I thought it would be easy....heehee. His portraits are a wonderful artistic exploration of self...however they did not give me enough facial views to get a complete view of his full face. I persevered and pulled enough views off the web to complete this piece. I thought he would LOVE it if his own head became one of my steampunk creations and HE DID!....that's the best part when they love it! I'm so glad he did. He purchased this piece from me as well and became my very first customer for my new business: MOT Studios. Thanks Spyros! He even posted a video of him opening it onYouTube!

In order to get my #draw365's done in a timely manner I've gone back to graphite sketches for awhile. I do LOVE the look of the line art with ink wash. I'll head back that way as soon as possible.....promise.

100th #draw365

My 100th #draw365.

Summer Night, Riverside

Feeling Floral again....must be all this Spring stuff going on......

My oldest friend saw this on my Facebook page and told me it reminded her of this poem. I had a feeling of  circa 1900-1910 when I did the drawing and she tells me the poem is from the same era. Amazing...

Summer Night, Riverside

In the wild soft summer darkness
How many and many a night we two together
Sat in the park and watched the Hudson
Wearing her lights like golden spangles
Glinting on black satin.
The rail along the curving pathway
Was low in a happy place to let us cross,
And down the hill a tree that dripped with bloom
Sheltered us,
While your kisses and the flowers,
Falling, falling,
Tangled in my hair. . . .

The frail white stars moved slowly over the sky.

And now, far off
In the fragrant darkness
The tree is tremulous again with bloom
For June comes back.

To-night what girl
Dreamily before her mirror shakes from her hair
This year's blossoms, clinging to its coils?

Mad Muse

Oh the Muse was mad that I had to give up Studio Day to sub! She pouted all morning! I took advantage of a Special and while the kids were off at Music I scribbled off this drawing of her in my pocket sketchbook. What a Primadonna she is, pouting away!!

 I started this one on the 17th but the Muse left me, to go get some green beer apparently, so I finished it on the 18th.....drawn and then inked.
