Self Portrait in my Kitchen

6:00 AM in my Kitchen 8X10 Pen and Ink on Water Color Paper : It started simply enough. It was going to be a cartoon like Jazzy’s. Then it got reflective and very sad, kind of like real estate and the economy. Dangerous to put a mirror infront of me now when I have a sharpie pen.

Jim Phillips

Love it. Not the economy, but the drawing.
Randy Sprout replied

Thanks Jim, I guess I’ll get over it all when I retire, hah! 1st time I ever really drew anything while being depressed, and I guess it really shows.

I love the economy of the drawing. :)
(what IS a sharpie? USAmericans talk about it…Is it a brand-name-felt-tip-pen, or a pen you dip in ink?)
Randy Sprout replied

Its a very small felt tip that is somehow more durable, Thanks.

6am you say? before or after the coffee??
nice marks, i’ll be looking out for more of these drawings from you, thanks!
Randy Sprout replied

Before coffee and while considering my eminent retirement. Thanks about the marks, they are my very first “depressed marks” Hah!
Lora Garcelon

I like this – I don’t think it’s such a sad-looking drawing – The fact that you’re painting in the drawing is a happy event :)
Randy Sprout replied

Thanks Lora but that was really a low and that is my magic sharpie pen, not a paintbrush, Hah!
