I'll be in Union Square tomorrow, TU Oct. 20th and plan on being there WED and TH, too. Pretty weather. I'm showing pen and ink crows and a few figurative works.
The next drawing I made based on showing in Union Square, and it's part of the series of that same name. The first few in this series were made with reds in answer to the Polish lady who told me my work would be prettier if I used color. She was the first person to come up to my table of drawings on my first morning showing stuff there. She talked me into selling her a drawing for just over half price, because, she explained, I was charging way too much. She told me when I handed her change that she only bought the drawing to make change for her larger bill, anyway, but it was alright for the price she got. The red I used is pretty close to my memory of her hair color.
Union Square drawing #6- portrait of a future producer
I met a student from NYU at Union Square last time I showed my drawings. She asked to visit my studio in Brooklyn for her homework project. She shot with another film student and Lynch fan, Kevin. This is pretty much based off of Natalie, the film student who wants to be a producer. She plans to make a documentary based on an Armenian priest in NYC who was killed for preaching that his congregation forgive the Turkish people for the genocide.
I'm obsessed with pretenders to the throne. I was looking for an article about the Armenian priest that the film student told me about, but found this instead. I think she said the other murdered Armenian priest was alive up through the fifties. That's not a job I would have thought to be dangerous or with tattoos.
Here's another figure I'm going to show tomorrow
