Thank you so much! I’m grinning ear-to-ear over here. :D

I mulled over your question a bit and my answers are still all over the place. On the one hand I want to wax on and on about how important life studies are (for speed and general knowledge), on the other I want to emphasize how important a foundation in cartooning has been (for knowing how and when to simplify), and on the third hand is some long rambling speech about trying to forget all of the above and just enjoy drawing for a bit. 

Art is...so many things at the same time, it’s a bit of a mess. A specific thought I keep coming back to, though, is how much the simple ballpoint pen has helped me out over the years: it forces you to run with ‘mistakes’ that you may make early on in the drawing and make use of ‘em instead of getting stuck erasing every attempt at a line.  

As for recommendations, here are three artists I’ve stared at, copied, and emulated a lot when it comes to line and construction:

George B. Bridgman (big pdf link!) - His books on constructive anatomy are just a godsend, particularly to people like me who tend to fall short on rote memorization. He breaks everything into manageable (and visually digestible and replicable) shapes and it all makes a whole lot of dang sense. 

T. S. Sullivant - Please view the drawings on this blog in high-res- this guy’s inkwork, hatching, and combination of caricature and realism is just the best thing. ;;  Pay attention to how good the silhouettes are, even if the shapes of the figures themselves are exaggerated or presented at a strange angle.

Heinrich Kley - ...I’ve had such a raging crush on this art for so many years, CAN YOU TELL? Swoopy loose lines and animals standing up!! More seriously, I’ve got such admiration for how Kley manipulates human and animal form into such odd positions while keeping the bones intact, haha.

...and there are so, so many more. I wanted to branch into about six other artists while typing about the first one, and now I’m itching to make a more contemporary list!

Hope this helped you out a little, and good luck with everything!  Any of you feel free to send me a message blabbing about art ANY TIME, y’hear? :D

Toast of the Town 2017

The best of bars, beers and booze in Central Arkansas and beyond.

Though the moral character of Arkansas may be found in its churches and its brains — such as they are — at the state Capitol, the heart of this state is in its bars. Only by visiting where the citizenry renders itself fully vulnerable can you know who we truly are, and as anyone who has ever had a ballpeen hangover can tell you, the vulnerability to be had in the confines of a church confessional pales in comparison to that which is found on your average bar stool around 11:59 p.m. on a Saturday night.

Our annual Toast of the Town issue gives readers a chance to throw some kisses to the beating heart of Central Arkansas and beyond, bestowing tips of the electronic hat to their favorite local watering hole, dive, joint, taproom, saloon or gin mill, with spotlights on where to get favorite drinks. It's our way of letting all those owners, bartenders, talent bookers, dishwashers, hostesses and bouncers who help bring a little liquid sunshine into our lives that their labor wasn't just about drawing paycheck, at least not to us.

This year, Four Quarter Bar in Argenta got the nod for Best Overall Bar and Best Bar Food, while Midtown Billiards — risen like a grungy phoenix from the ashes of a September 2016 fire — was a winner for Best Dive Bar. The Hillcrest Fountain said "Won't you be my neighbor?" in the Neighborhood Bar category, and took home additional wins for its happy hour and pool, darts and shuffleboard. Big Orange has something to crow about for winning Best Cocktail List, while Lost Forty Brewing hopped on the award for best local brewery, best brewpub and best pale ale.

As usual, the Toast of the Town issue comes just as we're gearing up for our annual Craft Beer Festival. Read on for full details on the breweries and beers that'll be available for sampling at this year's event. Also for your perusal (best read with a cold beer at hand), David Koon swaps ghost stories and seeks the spirit of bar greatness with Four Quarter Bar owner Conan Robinson, while Jacob Rosenberg goes to the dogs at the pooch-friendly Bark Bar. Chug-a-lug, dear reader. You've earned it.
