toe
you could argue that this is in fact a thumb, but it originated as a toe.

nerdentines
♥♥♥ happy early valentines day! is your special someone a nerd? does sir patrick stewart make you hot? well, send them a valentine's ecard, featuring elves, klingons and na'vi speaking in their native tongues. (and yes, these are actual translations, the good people at lemondrop got actual translations from actual 'people', not just from google). so find yourself a cute boy or girl who twitters from their parents' basement and send them one! ♥♥♥

mouse trackin'
this isn't terribly useful, but kind of fun, a little app that tracks your mouse usage for, uh, however long you leave it turned on. this is only a couple of hours, with a coffee break at the end (yes, the big dot).

happy winter
we're a couple of days early, but in honor of the great snowpocalypse/snowmageddon which dumped feet(!?) of snow on the east coast this weekend, winter seemingly has already arrived.

marlow and sons
marlow used to have my favorite breakfast, a spectacular biscuit served up with butter and jam...big, flaky, crumbly, moist, delicious. however, the pastry chef who made those biscuits left, and this biscuit was not THAT biscuit.

it's december, thus more naked drawings on the blog (huh?). one of the better models of the season.

peter pan bakery
greenpoint's own peter pan bakery where i have just been introduced to their red velvet donut, their red velvet donut WITH COCONUT!? and their whole wheat donut which sounds like some kind of delusional health-nut abomination, but in fact is possibly their most delicious invention of all (and not healthy at all)!

sva figure drawing workshop
some bamboo and ink messes from wednesday night figs. i have missed way too many figure drawing sessions this fall, as opposed to the amazing and dogged gb tran, who currently has a perfect attendance record (are you happy now? jerk).

also, special request to shake shack, please change your winter wednesday night hours to 10pm. thanks.

letters, numbers, cutting and taping
more effing around with cutting out paper and taping, cutting out some more paper, etc. november, you certainly are designed for plodding and pondering, football watching too.

paris, france
i started to get worried that all i did was draw in coffee shops, so ao and i decided to hop across the atlantic to have the opportunity to draw in cafes. seriously though, just got back from a lovely vacation in paris, and while i never draw as much when i'm away as i hope to, here is some wine and cheese soaked sketching (the second drawing is actually wine soaked).

paris
in case you are surprised by my lack of chatter, twittering, blogging this coming week, it's because i'll be being on vacation (wahoo!). yes, the lady and i are off on a lovely fall trip to the city of bears, paris. plenty of sketching and bloggering upon my buttery-winesoaked return.

nothing like kicking the tires on a new season of figure drawing. some pen, some pencil, a hint of watercolor, and some ink and bamboo (good suggestion, josh). some of these are tough to look at, you've been warned.
