Thanks, man!

Thanks, Elena.

Hi Karen and Antonio, thank you.

Awesome!
What class(es) are you taking (or teaching?), Allen?

Teaching. The class was Drawing Fundamentals, now it’ s Art Fundamentals as I’ve added painting to the curriculum.

Looks like a great place. If it was yours, would you continue the coat rental?

That’s funny. If it were mine it’d take a moment to consider. The view is spectacular. My daughter asked me about the coat too.

Hi Natalia and Noir33, thank you.

Hi Renata, thank you.

Thank you, Izms of Art.

this one’s awesome Allen! Evokes hedonistic impulses in me!

Hi Thorsten, Personal Concerns, Sarah, Julia, Aaron, Mariah, and Jen, thank you.

amazing work!

Thanks John!

Hi Rob, Sarah and Antonio…thanks!

He looks like a football player with those shoulders.

He reminds me of the former Detroit Lions player, Alex Karras, who became an actor after the NFL. Great stuff.

Your few lines speak volumes-wonderful!

Oh yes, I remember him! He did bring to mind football of a different era. Since I saw the Green Bay Packers logo on his sweatshirt I remembered the great SuperBowl with Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry.

He did. Big guy…I’m sure played it himself at one time.

Hi Elena…thank you!

Thanks, Chris and Kylli!

whats the answer?

What’s a .. um .. rufous?
=P

it is a shrewd shrew!

One of your best.

like it so much, have to say this again.

Hi Janice, Rufous is short for Rufous Sengi. If your familiar with anthropology I believe it’s the genus. My sense of humor.

That’s it! We have a similar wit.

Hi Willy, Thanks! I thought so too. We have a similar taste.

Hi Fiona..thanks (again)!

Hi Ali, Bellacorea, Edilio, Diane & Sofis..thank you!

Thank you Nicole, Imperio, Turber, Matt & Nathanael.

He looks like Anton Ego, in the animation “Ratatouille”

Hi Bellacorea, His image wasn’t coming to mind at first..then I remembered. He’s the California hippie throwback version.

Thank you Sofi and Gentlemeter.

slender legs as slender bottles!

Lean seems to be IN!

Yum! He needs to be smiling .. or maybe he hasn’t had a sip yet =P

Hi Janice, He’s a grumpy drunk.

Hi Personal Concerns, Slender legs..his belly is not.

Thank you Eve, Chloe & Vidal!

Hey, it’s you!
Wow, that octopus must’ve been a sight!!

Allen’s Zoo? I might have to have a look myself. Sounds like a great place. I am sorry about the dead Pacific Octopus, but I guess that is life – if I can put it that way. I love your sense of self-irony.

Thanks Otto..for both. I wonder from time to time if anyone notices my irony. Guess it takes a person of some sensitivity.

Hi Janice, It was a sight!

is this the expression of poison-taken? lol

Ha!

Thanks Jenny, Artprofilesworld, AirportsMadeSimple & INN!

Nice.
As always.

Hi Willy, Thank you!

Thank you Karen, Ana, Eve, Ella, Edilio, Annika, Aaron, Emilie, Marra, LobsterBoy and Anna!

All he has is poison.

Thanks Janice.

This is so awesome!!! Would you by chance be selling this piece? Thank you!

Hi Dominique,
Thank you! I’d can sell it, it’s my personal work. We should talk via my email [email protected]

Thank you Personal Concerns, Lespersonnage, Fred & Firstforprints.

Thank you Ron..cool blog by the way.

it reminds me of a man who walks by my office every day. I asked him one day why he does this and his answer was “I haven’t found Jesus yet”. Well, I moved to the side and wished him the best. He still walks to this day.

I like this story! I also like your blog by the way.

Thank you Aaron, Brandon (cool gravatar) and Dwrex.

Thank you, I sure do try. Today has been a sucky day. Nice to know someone like me.

where is he heading for?

Hi Fiona, Good question. Home? By the way are you home?

Thank you Eve, Don, Liv, Lazaro and Deadbirdflirting.

Yes it does have it!! Rays are just amazing.

Thanks Mike!

Hi Lazaro…thanks!

Hi Edilio..thank you!

reminded me of the convict from dicken’s great expectations!

Hi Personal Concerns, He looks like a real bruiser.

Hi PhotoBotos, Thank you!

Hi Matt..thank you!

nice!

Hi Karen, Thanks!

What a great pose – he looks so solemn.

Hi Alex, Being a tourist he’s (feels) a little out of place.

JUST BEAUTIFUL!
LOOKS LIKE A STORM COMING.

MOM XXOO

Looks rather idyllic Allen. Lovely light.

very beautiful!

Hi Personal Concerns, It was.

Hi Karen!

Hi MOM, THE STORM’S PAST. I’LL WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE.
LOVE ALLEN

Thank you Vidal, Art-Profiles & Kenneth.

Thanks Karen, Fashionsoundtrack, Epleee and Organic Brie!

Wow, what an incredible and powerful piece. I have one question: what is he looking at?

http://notesfrompushkinsapprentice.wordpress.com/

Thanks! He’s looking at shelved books just about his chest level. I like your blog by the way.

That’s wonderful -it’s almost as though a photograph or a picture has magically conjured up a distant memory.

Thanks again. I’m glad you mentioned that. You see the process of drawing from life. Interpreting. Not copying.

what’s above “10:45″?
and who is he?

Hi Fiona, I wrote “library”. Just an “old school” habit of categorizing…and he’s a gent that’s at the library, like me on a Saturday morning. I prefer drawing just your average Joe (or Josephine) around town rather than a model posing as artists do.

Thank you Redplace, Carstiuc, Elizabeth, Galigallery, Edilio, Mainxstream, Ed & Vidal!

i like your average Joe and i want to be one of your Joe one day

One day when we can make it over to Europe at the same time you can be my average Joe

Not a bad view at all! Only slightly jealous…

Hi Karen. Thanks

Thanks Matt, MHanle, Marcos & Gustriyani!

Hi BoJo..thanks!

hey(!) i’m really curious where you live, since it seems you can always choose to have a walk along the beach, lol.
p.s. take your scarf. it’s beautiful, but i must be windy too

to u too!

Hi! Thank you.

I know I have a scarf around here somewhere. I haven’t needed it so long I don’t know where I’ve put it last.

Hi Wilma & Doug..thank you!

Ugh. Why can’t my evening walks look like that?
So pretty!

That is an amazing snapshot.

Thank you Eileen.

WOW!! awesome shot!!!

Beautiful!!

Reblogged this on My Blog kumpulan visual cerita petualang amatir.

Thank you Paprika!

Thanks! Cool blog by the way.

Hi Arief..thanks.

For everyone who ‘Liked” “Thank you!”

beautiful! i think sth could be more beautiful is a pic of you and your daughter together when you walk along the sea

You may go beyond your imagination great work here
nice post

Thank you Jake!

Thanks Redplace!

Thank you Becky (littlestepsforalittleperson). Cool blog by the way!

i see “EU” pops so often in this post.. why europe? and how you can be sure it’s europe, not any other places? lool.

p.s. i saw your handwriting (!) interesting, lovely

This is cool. Do you do a dream page every day as a kind of creative-mental warm up? Seems like an awesome way to start the day.

Yes. With my morning coffee. It’s exactly that, kind of a creative-mental warm up.

Hi Fiona,
That’s a good question because I asked myself that. I felt when it came to a dream, being mine, it would be. Also we know those things, in this case Europe, are really just metaphors in dreams. It’s meaning is something else.

Love this!

Doc Syntax reblogged this on Truth Front.

Your drawings make me happy.

Wonderful lines and patterns

Hi Kim, Thank you!

That’s my hope…thanks for saying!

Thank you!

Thank you Doc!

love it!

Hi Kristin..thank you!
