In Cincinnati I spent a week with the best tuba and euphonium players in the world, which on my celebrity scale of awesomeness is a bit higher than meeting William Shatner, but a tad bit lower than running into Angela Lanseberry.
Any way, after the Tuba and Euphonium conference I headed back to New York by way of train, if you can believe that, with a one day pit stop in Washington D.C.. There I went to the portrait museum. That place is too cool for words. While there I saw some more Friedlander pics, yay for me, a John Brown Portrait, the guy who put crazy into abolitionist, and a great big Italian movie poster for Notorious. No Colbert portrait though. They had taken it down a few weeks before. Also D.C. is much more beautiful at 2:00 in the morning. There are less people walking around, the lights on the monuments make you feel like your part of something larger than the next joke of an election, and there is so much security there is no way you will be mugged.
So you can see why there has been sort of a slow down in drawings. I have though been working fairly hard and diligently on my photos for my class. I decided to post my favorites here to see if people had any comments.
Oh, oh, also I have been working on character designs for possible productions at World Leaders. I can't show you any of them cause they belong to the company, but just so you know, I am still drawing.
