Half Mojo

After the previous week’s missing mojo, I went to life drawing last Thursday wondering if I’d feel it this time. Although it wasn’t quite as bad as last time, I was still a bit sluggish. By the end of the session, I felt like my hand and arm were finally fully connected to my brain. I had maybe half a mojo.

It always helps to have a strong, experienced model, and Randy is one of the best. A Gage Academy model for more than 15 years, he is certainly one of the most experienced models I’ve drawn. To honor his years of service to Gage (he’s possibly the most-often drawn, painted and sculpted person in Seattle!), the school is going to host a “Randy show” next month. The entire exhibit will consist of works that he has posed for – even sketches from life drawing sessions – by instructors and students of the past 15 years.
