Fun online session with Drawing is Free this morning. Bunch of fine people taking it in turns to pose for four or five mins, while the rest make portraits. Big thanks to Chloe and artists/sitters. Here are a few of my less awful results. #charcoaldrawing #portraiture

Hats off to @HenryPaker for his tremendous short story in this week’s TBS. Here in full: “He then suggested they go skinny dipping in an oxbow lake. He jumped in and she drove off”. Humanity, economy, and brutal pathos. A Dorothy Parker for our age.
