The first t...Hi Paul, great to hear from you again. The first thing I did after reading your comment was do a word count on this post, it came in at 432, plus there's an image full of text, ha, that's plenty. I like writing posts that come in at over 2000 words as well, although sometimes I worry they're too long, but yeah I don't really have any rules about this stuff, sometimes a post might have a million words and sometimes it might have none, that's the joy of this medium.<br /><br />Ha, also Monday's post wasn't meant to be a secret post, I just decided to write a post two days in a row that's all.<br /><br />Really glad you liked the security guard drawing. It's done in acrylic so the Kentridge sculpture can't be deleted with an eraser, it's essentially like working with indian ink, but that's why I take the progress photos, so that you can make decisions like that. Sometimes I go too far with a drawing and wish I could go back, but in this case I kind of like the addition of the sculpture, and also the shadow. Thanks heaps for the feedback though, I definitely think about those things when I'm making the drawing. (I'm also working very fast as the security guard could move at any moment, so I make these decisions intuitively and quickly.)<br /><br />Ha, I don't know what you mean by "it just seems wrong to have a beard", but I do really like that that's what bothers you, as appose to the tongue licking. I don't have a beard, but that's only because I don't think they look good on me. However I do like the idea of not having to shave every day.<br /><br />And thanks, I'm very flattered you like the drawing. The photograph (and the whole exhibition) is pretty amazing, hopefully you'll get a chance to check out Richard Avedon's work sometime. <br /><br />Thanks heaps for the comment, hope all's going good and you're having a great Saturday. Merry weekend to Paul and to Paul a goodnight.Kenny Pittockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707257776776194296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787981048379537605.post-82305403274243008512014-08-06T16:47:12.575+10:002014-08-06T16:47:12.575+10:00Wow... I nearly made a big mistake with this comme...Wow... I nearly made a big mistake with this comment. It was only by accident that I had corrected it before posting. The mistake.... Mr Pittock had posted two blogs....<br /><br />So my original post would have been something like, wow, amazing how large pictures can make a blog that doesn't contain many words look substantive. The post would have gone on to suggest a word count at the end of each post.<br /><br />BUT, then, after checking back I accidentally noticed another post below. My first reaction was, GOLD.... a secret post that I've discovered and no one else will probably notice. Then it was crap, go easy on the young guy, he has actually posted twice.<br /><br />So.... in the second post (but really the earlier post) I really liked your drawing of the security guard. I don't know why, it seemed very arty. Actually I might have even loved it.... but the addition of whatever you drew next to it... ummm.. was it in pencil :)... can that second bit be deleted :)<br /><br />I like the guard, by him/herself.<br /><br />Any I feel the need to comment on tongue licking: it just seems wrong to have a beard. But I have a second comment on that same subject. I thought that your drawing was way better than the photograph. So you win... easily. Mind you, I'm biased, I'm a fan.<br /><br />So yeah... I liked your first post.... but that's with mixed feelings because I also like pictures of you, and the second post had more of those. <br /><br />It shouldn't be this difficult to comment. <br />Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033381689825145910noreply@blogger.com
