Book Review: Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother&#8217;s Will to Survive

In the absence of being able to visit musuems, I&#8217;ve been looking through art books. It&#8217;s not quite the same, but it does give me a chance to get to know an artist or an exhbit that I might not otherwise know. 



Currently I&#8217;ve been reading a <a href="https://amzn.to/2ZRCjyO">Jasper Johns book by Michael Crichton</a>. Yes, the same person who wrote Jurrasic Park and many other popular novels also wrote about Jasper Johns. Originally made for a 1977 exhibition at the Whitney.



It&#8217;s a different experience than seeing the art live, but it has exposed me to multiple pieces that I didn&#8217;t know about and has given me a few interesting tidbits to research more. It&#8217;s not a substititue, but it is a compliment. 



There is supposed to be a simultanius exhbition for Johns at The Whitney and Philedelphia Musuem of Art later this year, but who knows if it will take place.

Currently Reading

I&#8217;ve been finding it harder to finish work. Somethings I&#8217;ll start throw away. Something will sit in some state of unfinshed. Others I won&#8217;t even start. It&#8217;s been difficult. I don&#8217;t really have the answer, but I&#8217;m trying to get myself sketching and making more regularly. I need the outlet.

Art in Quarentine

Bathrooms of NYC Art Museums

Symbols of Hate at WordCamps

&#8220;Impeach&#8221;

After a bit of a break, I’ve been making more digital nudes. There is a lot of tranquility in sketching the human body. These last few I’ve tried to add in more shadows than I had been, while still keeping them fairly basic.
