You've Got To Have Balls

Sketch Tuesday was interesting, I drew for two and a half hours, speaking occasionally to my other drawing neighbors. The music was rattling my bones as I tried to sketch away the night. I sold one piece. I taped a small antique photograph of a little boy to the piece of paper. I drew lots of small circles all over the piece of paper including on the photograph. I wrote the word balls, balls, balls , balls, balls, balls, all over the paper and I titled the piece, "You've Got To Have Balls", it sold for ten bucks to a young man. I packed up my drawings after the sale and headed home with a headache.

111 Minna Street Sketch Tuesdays

This is a genuine flea market cowboy selling his goods on a Sunday morning.

I will be sketching tonight at 111 Minna Street from 6:30 pm until 9:30
pm the sketches I produce are for sale, ranging from $5.00 to $30.00.
This is your lucky chance to get some cool Chela sketches that roll out
of her imagination and onto paper. A dozen of other great artists will
be sketching there as well. See you there!! Check out the Fecal Face Calendar for details.

A Whole Month

I cannot believe a whole month has gone by.
I have finally finished sewing all of the addresses in the rolodex that I found from an old printer who was going out of buisness in Oakland.
The piece is really long, so many different addresses from all over Oakland, like Grandmothers Cookies, The Naval Port, Boys Scouts of America and Granny Goose Pre Pared Potatoes.
Now the challenge will be how to display it.
I will be working really hard in the studio these next few months preparing for the show at 21 Grand. The work must be solid, with a circus and animal feel.
