This ink and stick drawing was done from a pose while sitting outside a sandwich shop on West 6th Street in Austin, Texas. I used an extremely thin balsa wood stick with India ink - one of my favorite ways to draw - and just let the ink kind of do its own thing. This is a wonderfully freeing type of art and just good for the soul - or my soul, anyway. I did this drawing on - I think it's Yupo, about 8 x 5". Thanks for looking!

To an ex pen & ink artist, the concept of a balsa-wood stick is an interesting concept which you have clearly mastered
