Small sketches – family.

L: my brother, about 18

R: my dad, about 50

B: my dad with same brother, Harper's Ferry, summer '96. Other brother was present, but I wasn't quick enough to get him in, apparently.

More small sketches – apartment mates at University of Maryland.

Another apartment mate. I think I did this through the window while this friend was out on the porch talking with his fiancée in Toronto. Could be pretty shameless about scoring a quick head-sketch, sometimes.

More shamelessness. This guy fell asleep on a couch near me in a library where I was reading.

Dan Schantz, an old friend.

Three sketches of another old friend.

The first two are from basement music sessions – Mike's a drummer. I'd be sitting in a corner on occasion, listening & drawing.

The last, a sketch attempted during conversation over coffee. — A difficult juggling act, talking & drawing at the same time. I haven't had great success with it.

As drawings, these interest me now especially because of the progression they recall for me, during a period of maybe four years. What I could (or would try to) bring to the problem of quickly getting some kind of visual impression, given a chance at study of an interesting personal subject from life, was evolving at a rapid pace then.
