This is Paul again, sitting on the steps of Northwestern University.   He shared his intense and interesting life story with me as I drew him here.

This picture is a ‘long gesture’ drawing of my friend Jennifer in pastel.  It remains reminiscent of the times when I have been most focused on illustration.

This is a picture I drew almost entirely in the dark at a concert for the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir.  I love drawing to wonderful sounds, it’s so inspirational.
