Here's a sketch of the band Moby Grape. I had no idea they were until yesterday. Apparently, they had every ingredient you'd need to become huge stars in the 60s, but it didn't end up happening. I think these stories are more interesting than those who made it.

Today, July 15 would be Rembrandt's 417th birthday. His work is so personal and iconoclastic. Just a defining example of what an individual can do and express. This is my low-poly 3d sculpt of him(unfinished).

Harry Dean Stanton was born on this day, 1926. A great character actor. My very favorite roll of his was in Repo Man, as Bud. "Etch this on your brain kid, 'I shall not cause harm to any vehicle nor the personal contents thereof...". This is my very rough sketch of a minute ago.

Courtney Love's birthday was July 9. Doll Parts and Violet would be my favorites of hers. This is a sketch I did of her in 2021.

Today is Sylvester Stallone's birthday, famous for Death Race 2000 or something. I drew this about 5 years ago while still in my sketching prime.

Here's a sketch I just finished of female drag-racer Shirley Muldowney, and actress Bonnie Bedelia, who played her. I don't condone drag racing, but why not salute a pioneer in cracking a glass-ceiling on independence day?

J P Sartre's birthday is June 21. His contribution: you are radically free. You make yourself. But, somehow, I remember a quote that he might not have ever said "I can sex a pigeon from fifty paces". I've seen no evidence on the web that he actually said it, but I wish that he had. This is my recently drawn sketch of him.

This is my sketch made today of a photo from behind the scenes of filming Bonnie and Clyde. Faye Dunaway is seated in front of a camera here.

Here's a sketch of Mike Oldfield. I drew this because I liked how distant in time the 70's photo looks to me. It turns out he became a mega star after Tubular Bells. I made this yesterday.

Here's a sketch of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter. Today would be Waylon Jennings' birthday. This is an example of people I draw to contemplate what an era looked like.

Jun5 is Spalding Grey's birthday. He'd be 82. Influential for his one-person play and monologues. Hard to believe how long ago all that was. This is sort of a sketch of him.

Because it's really spring, here's a sketch I did 30 years ago in the Boston area. You should sketch, you really should. Looking at this in this sketchbook makes it feel like a minute ago.

Here's a sketch from 3 years ago when I was descending into covid madness. I was thinking of Randy Newman's "Piece of the Pie" where he says "no one gives a shit but Jackson Browne". That feeling of being marooned on earth-- unforgettable.
