Speed Painting

Life is a Story
Lifting the Veil I had an epiphany last night. I’ve been thinking about our stories, how they bind us and free us at the same time. Honestly, if we are not in the midst of a chapter or chapters of our own story, then we are asleep. All stories require conflict,...

I did another corporate sketch gig on napkins at the historic Gadston House, here in Charleston. The idea of using napkins came from when I played Picasso at a party at the Gibbes Museum a few years ago and just spontaneously started drawing people on napkins, like he so famously did. People at the party loved it.
Quick fact: my novel, The Fishfly begins with a similar story.

That's why certain aboriginal tribes and spiritual practices don't allow portraiture. They believe the soul can be stolen. Don't worry, it's in my contract: I promise I won't steal your soul!
