Saturday out and about

Had a great time hanging out with Nick today. I went down to his neck of the woods. We sketched, but mostly talked. Alot of talking actually. I froze up a bit, but finally did a quick painting. It was much quicker than usual, but I think it was a good excercise for me to loosen up and try and capture something without my usual fuss and muss. Anyway, the painting is acrylic at Ritual and the sketch I did afterward.

Grant, you just whipped that painting up? I hate you. In a good way.
And I think you captured Nick's self-righteosness, not to mention his long, flowing hair.

Well, quick doesn't mean 20 minutes. This one was probably an hour, but I would usually sit for like 3 hours and just zone out. Hence, this one felt quick to me compared to the pacing I'm used to I guess.

Nick kept prodding me because he had to be at some fancy shmancy christmas party. Hmmph!

We also discussed some of your artistic endeavors. Would love to see your work sometime.

Wow, is that what Nick's hair looks like now? He's been in San Fran for too long.

my hair, in fact, does not look like that,
and any further artistic liberties taken with the length or form of my flowy locks will almost certainly result in immediate and severe penalties.

like, i'll have to draw you next time!

i gotta get a haircut.

Fine, your hair doesn't look so 'metal'. And in truth, you DO have a jawline...But it's time you got your!
