Here's The Plan invite

Jewels in progress...pt. 7

Below, the largest drawing, and below that a detail. It's around 8 feet long, 5 feet high. But it might get wider. Three weeks until the install. Tomorrow the press release is being written. Am I the only one around here with a sense of urgency?

Above, detail of cowboy drawing. Below, the whole shooting match. Six weeks left until the show opens. Please stop pressuring me.



Below, the father/son drawing. It's pretty much done. I have to finish this by Tuesday morning, that's when it's going to be photographed for the invite. No sweat.

Below, the bareback cowboy drawing so far, all details. See previous posts for an idea of the scale. I've been drinking lots of RockStar energy drink. But I should probably drink more.

Keep those comments coming.

Here's The Plan

Here are some pics from my studio of my show in progress. The show opens in about two months at Jeff Bailey Gallery. The title of the show is Here's The Plan.








Above, a detail from the largest drawing. It's a nude cowboy. Kind of a theme, I guess. I'm relying a little bit more on solid bands of color. So far, so good.








Above, the largest drawing. I'm going to lop off a lot of the sides, so don't look so concerned. It's a drawing of a naturist cowboy on a mechanical bull juxtaposed onto an interior.





Above, two of the midsize pieces. You've seen these before, yes? Both still in progress, but getting there.





Above, a group of smaller drawings, all finished. Below, the other wall of midsize drawings. If it looks like I haven't done much on the one on the right, it's because I haven't done much on the one on the right. Lay off. It's possible the blue one won't make it into the show because of time constraints. The grey one is also still in play. I said lay off.

How To Make A Cowboy Run

It's easy. Just stand across the street with a video camera dressed like your idea of a tourist. Takes about 3-5 minutes.

Now you try it.
