I started working with some new materials for my charcoal drawings. I'm using Rives BFK pastel paper and a different kind of compressed charcoal without any wax. I can really work the charcoal into the paper and get even modeling, but still be able to lift out the highlights. The subtlety of values allows me to work primarily in the shadows as in Kiss 2 below or in the lights as in the figure in Blindfolded.

My work will be on exhibit and for sale at LeatherFest 2007 this Saturday, 11/17 at the Gay & Lesbian Center, 208 West 13th Street between 7th and 8th Avenue. 3 pm - 9 pm . $10 admission. LeatherFest 2007 Info
