A Sketchy Past


I don't remember what pile of stuff I was going through, but I found this drawing I did 35 years ago when I was 19. I remember copying it from a photograph in some fashion magazine, probably Cosmo or Vogue because I was into that stuff back then. It's supposed to be Nastasia Kinski. My boyfriend (back then) thought she was incredibly beautiful, and she was. I'd often take out my number 2 pencil and draw on manila paper. Simple tools back then for me. If I find the one of Picasso I'll share that one too. It's one of my favorites.

I like the way the paper has yellowed around the mat. That's how I feel sometimes. I little worn and older around the edges.
