Nice work ST! Your promo card is sweet! Is that a self portrait? Really dig your line work

Suburbanization,

Thanks bro! That was not a self portrait but it does share some similarities to some of my features. The older I get the more I resemble that guy (3 eyed guy).

That piece was done in 91 when I was 19. A couple of years ago when I started to draw again all of my old drawings that I still had were in the back of my car when I made a turn and the binder they were in slid under my not completely closed rear lift-gate/door. It was 5PM, raining, sand on the ground from winter, and in the busiest intersection in town.

After about an hour and a half of wondering where my shizzles went, I realized what may have occurred at a sharp turn prior to that intersection and back tracked. I dodged heavy traffic and picked up what pieces I could find in the semi darkness, wet, torn, gravel embedded, sandy, muddy, etc.. I just wanted the old work for memories etc. This is what I ended up doing with the road chewed drawing.

The other figures there are life models I've painted. The blond guy had just bleached his hair that color, ultrabrite.

Mahaloz,

ST
