SDCC & Crocker Art MArathon Figure drawing SUMMER 2014

Both events were a success. The Crocker event took place yesterday and many fine artists came to draw the figure for the entire day.

SDCC was great with many fine artists also in attendance. Soltero thanks Ericc and Kat for a fantastic job posing for the audience.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

This is an excellent movie as it depicts some of the most powerful human emotions through the Apes. Its achievement is in showing the apes as more than human on the one hand and as fallible in another.
The first original movie was excellent, the one from the 60s, with input from Rod Serling. This movie, I believe, surpasses all of the previous films. Check it out!
