I don't know why, but I had a hard time identifying what the title was... uh... was referring... to...
Hmm?! Sorry, what were you saying?
Yeah. Good eyes, good rendering of the form, and good lord!

I see your break from art is over, and as such you resume with style.
Superb, mate.

Just for a second. Wish I could spend more time in the studio. Just doing this was like therapy.Β
Anyway, thanks as always for the support, my friend.

And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more

I think I love her"

Thanks you much, my friend!
I've always loved the lines "if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more" and "built like she was, she had the nerve to ask me, 'if I'd planned to do her any harm.'" I think they kinda fit nicely with this drawing.

Thanks, dude!
Indeed. Prince was a huge inspiration on my art (half of my gallery's work is titled after his songs) and growing up in the early 80s, his music basically served as a sex education course. Definitely one of the main reasons why my work veers on the perverted side.

You're very welcome! Also, her blue eyes are simply gorgeous.

Thanks, it's always great to be back! However, my stay will be very brief. I only came out of retirement... or better yet, hiding, because I needed to pay tribute to one of my biggest inspiration. Yeah, these days,Β unfortunately, grad school doesn't allow me the time to even draw stick fingers.
It's great to hear from you, though. How's life treating you? I still make time to prowl DA, and while I'm doing it, I always check out some of the photos you've been posting. Nice work, my friend, keep it up!

Life's keep me on my toes, but I'm doing OK.
What are you studying at Grad school?
Thanks for the comments about my photos. I post less than I used to - one of the skills I'm learning is how to be selective!

Awesome, dude.Β
A teaching degree!
No problem! Yeah, being selective is one of the toughest things to do as an artist. When I post my series, I so wish I had someone to make the cut for me. Sometimes I feel like I post the awful stuff and scrap the good stuff!

A teaching degree... Good man - the world needs more creative types in the Education system.

Thanks, Geo!!!
That I do! But that doesn't necessarily mean I'll turn down some baby browns or gorgeous greens. I'm an equal opportunity eyeball lover, you know.
