Study, instagrammer.

For the past month or so I’ve been asking instagram friends to send me photos to draw and paint from. Initially I though it would be a fun winter side project. Figured I’d do some drawings and maybe collect them together in a zine eventually. But then I started doing some paint studies, which led to larger paintings, etc. and now I’m thinking of doing a show of the work this summer.

I’ve actually been overwhelmed by the response I’ve been getting. I didn’t think many people would be interested in offering their services as models, but I’ve gotten so many great photo submissions that I’ve got my work cut out for me for a while, which is a nice problem to have.
