GO FIGURE

donated to "The Vagina Monologues"

2010-02-13T13:51:00.000-08:00

This was an old figure drawing I did about 8 or 9 years ago; I added the book in her hand and the paint in the background today...
My friend is in the show and they are having an auction to raise money for the show...so I donated this piece.

Sheila

2008-04-22T10:40:00.000-07:00

Here's the great Sheila from last night's Go Figure. She had some great poses despite the annoying hammering going on in the loft. I guess they had to do right then and not wait an extra 10 minutes when we would've be finished for the night. What can you do? It's their loft and they can do anything they want; they're nice enough to let us use the space, so I can't really say anything- except on my blog here I guess.
I get the feeling we might be overstaying our welcome there. That's how things work.
Go figure.

Here's the cool Kayla from last night's Go Figure.

Misty Gonzalez

Here's Misty Gonzalez from last night's Go Figure. All colored pencil.

Viktoria

2008-04-01T06:23:00.001-07:00

Here's Viktoria from last night's Go Figure. All colored pencil. The last one is a quick caricature of Dan Harper- one of the regulars.

Isabelle-Kung Figure

2008-03-19T10:22:00.001-07:00

Here's Isabelle from our third installement of "Kung Figure". It's interesting how the model's expressions and poses change when they have a weapon in their hands.
The first 4 are colored pencil, and the last one is vine charcoal and charcoal pencil.

Phoenix

2008-03-01T10:47:00.000-08:00

Here's Phoenix from last Monday's Go Figure. She was great; she did some unusual poses, used props noone has used before, and baked us some muffins, which were great.
All colored pencil.

Wilson-2

2008-02-18T20:41:00.000-08:00

Wilson had an interesting face to caricature...

Wilson

2008-02-18T20:31:00.000-08:00

Here's Wilson from tonight's Go Figure- see we get a guy sometimes. The first one is graphite and then I used a black colored pencil.

Sheila

2008-02-17T12:06:00.001-08:00

Here's the bendable Sheila from the last Go FIgure. There you have it.

Amy

2008-02-09T09:34:00.001-08:00

Here's Amy from the last Go Figure. I was really tired that night and was not drawing up to par. Thus, only one drawing to display.
Drawing takes energy to do. Working full time in order to make money to survive depletes energy. Trying to do both is most trying and frustrating if you're trying to be an artist.

Carla

2008-01-28T20:27:00.001-08:00

Here's Carla who filled in for an ill Sheila at Go Figure. I really like drawing Carla for her interesting presence, facial expressions, and long, thin body where you can see the bone structure.

PHOENIX

2008-01-22T09:47:00.000-08:00

Here's the firey Phoenix from last night's GO FIGURE. She had some great quick poses, played her Native American flute in another pose, and some great long poses as well. These are all colored pencil.

Cassandra

2008-01-08T20:25:00.000-08:00

Here's Cassandra from last night's Go Figure. Only one this time cause I was sick and had to leave early unfortunately. The turn-out was good, however, and I'm looking forward to more Go Figures of extraordinary proportions.

Erin

Amber Ray

2007-11-13T08:04:00.000-08:00

Here's Amber from last night's Go Figure who was cold at first, but then warmed up after we got another heater thanks to Anna, and turned on the big heater in the back of the loft. We had some new people come who all do animation- it was good to have them.

Carla

2007-11-06T19:22:00.001-08:00

Here's a few of Carla from last night's Go Figure. I started to lose it at the end, I think- I was getting distracted by multiple sources of noise and it was hard to concentrate. We had a TV going in the background, someone's stereo, our music, and people talking. What can you do?
Go Figure.

One more Lady J

2007-10-23T09:27:00.001-07:00

This is the last one of the night- Lady J with nunchucks. I didn't completely finish it, but I still like the way it came out, although it's probably not up to the standards of a Crabapple show.

LADY J-The Assassin!

2007-10-23T09:19:00.001-07:00

Here's some drawings of the great Lady J or Lady Lovely as a weapons wielding assassin at last nights' GO FIGURE. She got into some really great and challenging positions, and later commented that she didn't want to be boring. That's probably the last description of Lady J on anybody's mind. She's never boring....and always lovely.

Amy

2007-10-16T09:59:00.001-07:00

Here's Amy from last night's Go Figure. She had some great poses- and some really difficult poses to hold, like the one where she's upsidedown for 20 minutes, so we thank her.
The last one is a caricature of Peter Griffin, my old roommate, who I haven't seen in about a year and stopped by to do some drawing.

Marianne

2007-10-09T20:30:00.000-07:00

Here's a few drawings of Marianne at last night's Go Figure; the first is a quick, one min. pose of her doing some Tai Chi moves, and the next 2 are longer poses. The last one is a caricature I did of Mary(Marie) Griffin on the subway going home. I just can't seem to stop doing caricatures every since I came back from the Caricature Convention in Reno, Nevada last week. More will be posted on the "Everybody's Gotta Be In a Gang" blog...

Dottie Lux

2007-09-25T07:42:00.000-07:00

Here's Dottie Lux at our new space for Go Figure at 97 Wyckoff Ave. in Bushwick. It's a great space and I'm greatful to the roommates there for letting us use the sapce- and participating!

Sheila

2007-09-04T08:21:00.001-07:00

Here's the amazing Sheila from last night's Go Figure. I did a caricature of her for the first time after drawing her for years. Her face is very unique and often difficult to get a likeness, but I like the way this one came out.
This could be our last Go Figure for a while- at least until we get another space. Shea needs her apartment to do some work for her new architecture classes...
If anybody knows of any space that we could use, let me know. Thanks.

Dr. Tenzin

2007-08-07T09:03:00.001-07:00

Here's the peaceful Dr. Tenzin at last night's Go Figure. He is originally from Tibet, is a Buddhist Monk and a Doctor of Tibetan Medicine. He is touring the country doing medical consultations. His monestary is in south India. My friend, Troy reffered me to him and he was kind enough to sit for our drawing group.
It went well, and I think everybody left a little calmer than when entering. Osha made a great Vegan meal- a veggie pot pie and homemade cookies. Every week her meals top the last week.
