making a new portfolio


A compilation of some recent quick portraits done at the Brooklyn Brewery a few weeks back with Sean and Z. The past few weeks I've been assembling a new portfolio, throwing out the old and ushering in the new drawings that will best represent me at this moment in time- which leads me to think that in another few years I'll have long forgotten about these sketches. If I come across them in the future I'll probably cringe at the sight of them- but that's okay, it will have meant that I've improved.

honestly, a great portfolio, did you spend a lot of time trying to figure out what order to put them in? that would be something i would insanely analyze and spend a great deal of time on if i was an artist think. anyhow, i love the arrangement- planned or not! cricket pics fun too...

Thank you! Yes, a great deal of analyzing at the beginning of the portfolio process for sure, but near the end you get sick of it and just want to create new work, so the process speeds up a great deal when you realize it's time to move on.
I'd like to send you a drawing or two- email me at the gmail address and I'll make sure to send you some!
