Notes from the Gulag

Just home from work, a busy CCS day! Sorry I didn't have time to post this AM, but hey, it's been one of those days.

BTW, last week's guest artist/speaker, New England cartoonist and graphic novelist

Greg Cook,

has posted

this blog coverage of his CCS visit, take a look.

This week, as noted earlier,

Tom Hart

and

Leela Corman

were our guests, spending almost the entire week here -- and they were amazing. Leela conducted an intensive life-drawing session as part of my weekly Drawing Workshop class that had everyone on their feet, standing and drawing from our live model Kristan; it was a terrific, invigorating session which provided breakthrough observational drawing skills for many.

It also yielded my fave student comment of the month thus far (granted, it's only the 8th):
"Steve, your Drawing Workshop is turning into a drawing gulag!"
