The unique nature of his drawing residencies means that he could accept the invitation and justtrust.
But thisI just show up.
That said, Les Walk-Ins, as he mentioned, will be a little different from the past.

If someone is only free at 9 pm, I will be drawing them at nine.
But I love to draw in the morning with coffee, too, so I am open.
It might be a few long days, and some days where Im walking around and getting some inspiration.

In Paris, Im not nearly as familiar.
I am really curious as to how things will be different.

I am going to use it.
