I’ve finally done it!
I have dozens, if not scores – possibly even hundreds – of drawings that have accumulated over the last three and a half years, from my habitual life-drawing sessions, and I think a few of them are quite good (some other people agree, even!) so I’ve taken the plunge, and asked a local café/gallery if they would let me festoon their walls with tasteful nudity.
Thankfully they said yes (they seemed pretty keen when I mentioned ‘tasteful nudity’ actually!) and I’m to have a show, in November! A little way off yet, but that gives me time to get two things done – framing, and selecting. The selection process is going to be the hard bit, I think, but I’ve come up with a tentative shortlist. I’m open to suggestions, though, if anyone has time and/or inclination to trawl through the collection on Flickr and let me know if you think another drawing might deserve a place on the wall.
I’m going to whittle it down to about a dozen in the end, so some of them just aren’t going to make the cut, but maybe they’ll be fodder for the next show, whenever that might be.
