This March we (‘Draw’ that is…) will be holding another of our Drawing Circus extravaganzas at the Salis Benney Theater. Here’s a little Arthur Rackham inspired scribble that I drew for the flyer today.

Today I had the pleasure of working with Nic De Jesus,  a talented and thoughtful young photographer currently resident in Brighton.  It was a privilege to be asked to sit for Nic, and added to that was the  excitement of watching his process. I’ll post a few photos of the beautifully arcane equipment that he used in the shoot, but until then here is one of my favorite shots.
