Time is the Longest Distance Between Two Places

“Time is the longest distance between two places.” ― Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie So y’all may be wondering, “How is it going, living apart from Blake?” It isn’t easy. We are both very busy with teaching and making work and coordinating the millions of other things we try to do in addition to that. […]

Why Don’t You Draw A Picture? It’ll Last Longer! And Other Retorts in Part XIII of 939 Drawings: My Facebook Friends’ Profile Pictures in Watercolor & Ink

This is a rather small update on my Facebook Profile Picture Drawing Project.

John Hendrix Below is a list of random things I overheard or read and wrote down in large text in this red graph paper sketchbook I’ve been working in.

I’ve done 3 new drawings in the last 2 days, and I’m working on another one this morning before I head over to the printshop to polish the Challenge Proofing Press.

We All Have 10,000 Bad Drawings in Us
