I’m late to the #ArtAdventCalendar party, but I’m all for anything that gets more art out in the world. Here’s a quick charcoal portrait I did from a Sktchy source image as part of my continuing struggle to get a handle on the Loomis method.

I want this movie playing on a repeating loop at my funeral

1. Robert Mitchum is incredible
2. A charming sci fi adventure with teenage characters I didn’t want to punch
3. Gory and fun. I wish it had gone off the rails even more
4. Long on atmosphere with great performances, but it falls apart at the end

1. A franchise I had written off is finding its way again
2. Beautiful and heartbreaking. Go see this movie
3. A remake that made me wonder why it needs to exist. Just go watch the original
4. A brave film about the human costs of authoritarianism

On a recent trip to the Seattle Public Library, I noticed a single sock on the sidewalk that appeared to have some writing on it. Curious, I looked closer and found these words of wisdom

This man knows what time it is

Current mood

I recently finished this painting. The title has now been officially changed to “Dr Karen Carr is a Bad Ass.” Please update your catalogs and Art history textbooks accordingly.
