This is a drawing I’ve been working on since last year (on and off)… Aiming to finish it by the end of this year… I took a few weeks off from it recently because I broke the pen I’d been using (it’s a Rotring Rapidograph Isograph, .10mm). The only replacement I was able to find was in the UK, so I picked one up when I was in London last week for the alpha-ville festival* to avoid the obscene shipping charges. I got the last one in the store, no less. In any event, I can’t tell you how happy I am to be working on this drawing again. And I actually covered more ground than normal in a 40 minute period…

Music by Grand Valley State University New Music Ensemble (performing Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians). Pretty much the only other two albums I’ve listened to for this particular drawing are Beethoven’s 9th (CSO version), and Joanna Newsom’s Have One on Me. 

*More on alpha-ville soon, but it was awesome. And London was a blast.
