Looking like an unmade bed

His expression, when i saw it on the photograph, looked blue. So i added blue. Pen + colored pencils in Moleskine.

Another pen portrait in Moleskine

From a photograph by Bruno Lévy i had in my computer. Pen + colored pencils in Moleskine.
Another one i filmed with Gawker. Quick cameo appearance by Marvin (his tail, that is).

¿Que haces, Hugo?

A while back, the very talented Suzanne Buchanan drew Hugo Chavez and i loved her way to wonder about his persona in the process. Today, Hugo Chavez was mentioned in class and it made me want to do do a fast sketch of him. Didn't sharpen the lead once -- hence the thick, undefined quality. 2B graphite ("fat") lead on Canson paper.

This is my first attempt at drawing my best friend's baby. Should have thought ahead and not done it in my new Moleskine journal (i am not crazy about the crease across his mouth!) but there will be other attempts. 2B pencil in Moleskine.

The smile of a Morris Minor

Morris Minors smile. Ink, watercolor and pen in Moleskine.

Hanging on by a thread

I read in the newspaper that Raymond Barre is not doing well. Wanted to test draw the new thin Moleskine i bought. Much to my dismay, the pages are thin, and the soft cover makes it difficult to just sit and draw on one's lap. Some adjustement will be needed.

Home is where the amp is

A piece of my living room -- with a bunch of borrowed items. And a cat. Pen and colored pencils in Moleskine.

It's hard to be a saint in the city

I spotted this little Peugeot bike in Manhattan the other day, so i took a picture. It bore the old Peugeot logo, like the one i learned to bike on. Aw. Pen in Moleskine.

Meet Bernard

Tried to rush through a portrait of Bernard Kouchner, member of the brand new French government. The picture i saw of him on the internet was striking. My interpretation of it is grey and blah -- and i hate it :-) 2B pencil on Canson paper.

Drawing minus love equals bore

Couldn't finish. I've never been a fan of Fords. Even the crazy 1930 ones converted into snowmobiles. Thought i could, but couldn't. Yawn.
