Here is my first piece, for #inktober52 . The prompt word was FLIGHT. My sketch is also a tip of the hat to the great illustrator Joseph Mugnaini, from whom I took a workshop back in 1987 up in Santa Cruz, California. A fellow alumnus from Coronado High School, David "Froggy" Rodriguez, and I drove from San Diego, up to Santa Cruz and camped out in the woods outside town for the week long duration. In the image below I don't presume to draw anywhere near as good as Joe did but instead I'm trying to, in my mind, return to that classroom in a mental time machine, if you will.
Every day of the five day workshop, Joe, Frog and I had lunch together in the UCSC lunchroom, where Frog and I sat and listened to Joe talk about his love of nature. Joe found Frog's surfing experience interesting and there were many discussions of the oceans and waves and their forms. I remember Joe saying "I am in constant awe of nature".
