More images of my friend Lauren, who is about to give birth any moment now. I really think she’s going to be a great mother. She’s smart and tireless and focused and kind. Not to me, but I’m a PITA. Pain in the ass.

Here are some really loose monotypes, each about 18″ x 12″. I’m not satisfied with the emotion these prints are evoking at this point, so I’ll keep working. I’ve been continuing with graphite and ink with color wash drawings, which you can check out after the jump.

A friend is due any day now and I’ve been slapping paint and ink around trying to come up with a portrait. Haven’t succeeded yet but this is a small sketch in the gestation period.

This week I’m tired and this is what I have to offer. Take it or whatever. Making art when you have to pay the bills is a freaking pain in the arse.
