Surviving 19th Century Immersion

Surviving 19th Century Immersion

NP 04/26/2010 —Ink & pastels on paper— 5×7  (hi-res here)

The only way I can survive the 19th century immersion I have to go through, is by having a sketch pad next to me and doodle as needed…really an obsession replaced by another. I found it healthier than reaching for a beer or a cigarette, though the thought has crossed my mind a couples of time! As already announced on the last post I will be giving a talk (in frog tongue) on my dear Augustus and family Thursday in NYC:
