We continue day #4 of our
vacations from the American Express “Daily Dick” sketchbook, concentrating for
the moment on sketches done in my post-stroke journal. These sketches have a
certain poignancy as they were executed during a time when I was unsure of my
drawing ability, uncertain about whether or not I’d be able to recover it. I’m
dropping back further in time with each day’s posing as I leaf backwards
through this journal, covering the period between March 20, 2013 (a month after
my spouse/lifemate John Callahan’s demise on February 17, 2013 to August 18.
2013, 3 months after my release from Glendale Memorial Hospital. The motivation
for this diversion of focus is that I am revisiting this volume before I file
it away.
No big
deal here, just a naked guy with a dick, drawn with ballpoint pen. Since his
hands and feet were out of frame, I decided to add them as inserts. As in, to
prove to myself that I wasn’t afraid of drawing feet or hands.
