when i was younger, my family and i used to have portrait parties. we would congregate in the living room every few months and turn our attention from person to person, drawing everyone in the room. it was such a pleasure and so normal in my life that trading portraits became a regular event when i left for college, when i moved to new towns, when i met new friends or favorite artists. tommy kane suggested that it would make a good website. so, that's what this is... AND YOU'RE INVITED!
jesse (portrayed above) qualified his first drawing of me (below) with a warning: "i can't draw. not even stick figures." now, readers, pay attention. you're going to see why i love drawing with people who "can't draw."
no! not thiis! i do like jesse's first portrait of me, "on the toilet," but the remarkable drawings are yet to come.
