friends

i don't know how long this video will reside on this site before it gets sent to the archives. but try watching it...here. i was struck by what one of the old gents said about old age and living life day by day. and yes, i admit that it won't apply to all circumstances. but it does bear keeping in mind.

chair, afternoon

a lot of my drawings and pictures have chairs in it as a subject or background element. i often think of it as a representative of people i've encountered. you would have noticed perhaps that people tend to have a particular chair that they sit on when they eat at home, another 'personal' chair for when they are relaxing in their living room. well in my case, when drawing chairs, i often try to think of people that that particular chair reminded me of. it's not a new concept really. van gogh and gauguin have done it before. but i still do it anyway.
