alex drew his wife (on the left) and he made her draw him too (on the right) even though she was reluctant. see, gang? that's how you get a portrait party going: coercion, extortion, bribery. it's fun for the whole family!
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!

she did a good job!
art is one of those things that can be developed to surprising heights with simple practice. for as much as people think it has to be a gift, it's pretty easy to cultivate even if you're not inclined towards it. it helps to have skill, but you can teach yourself anything if you put your mind to it. i hope she keeps trying, maybe she'll find a niche.
and i love her pose on the sofa, i like how is drawn with such a friendly feeling
