You wouldn't give me the drawing (you said it was awful) - I had to beg you for it! I kept all your "Ferp and Bart" roughs from the ill-fated Bakers Man gig too - they were too good to leave behind!Chris Merritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759410855891198273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-1151747809969389892006-07-01T02:56:00.000-07:002006-07-01T02:56:00.000-07:00I think you're wrong.

But I realised that by going down that road I'd always come second best to photography. The irony is that although I am still in awe of the likes of Caravaggio I get far more enjoyment from art/illustrations by Basquiat, Haring, Quentin Blake, and Katie Rice. I have way more fun when I'm being playful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-1151739765664976142006-07-01T00:42:00.000-07:002006-07-01T00:42:00.000-07:00Thanks, guys!Thanks, guys!Eddie Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729949238666234774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-1151730258152221792006-06-30T22:04:00.000-07:002006-06-30T22:04:00.000-07:00Haha these are great!

Ancient Chinese artists were encouraged to draw the same figure many times.

I nor the teachers were ever satisfied with anything I drew. Especially the one Russian lady. Hooboy!<BR/><BR/>I did poorly in it for two reasons: 1. I HATE simply rendering what's in front of me. 2. That Russian teacher told me sometimes that I often exaggerated the poses. I felt like blurting out, "Well DUH!! I'm a cartoonist. That's what we do." I didn't though. I think I just nodded my head or something like that.<BR/><BR/>No, I don't have many of those drawings to show anybody. We all burned ours in a big bonfire at our graduation party.
