Watches of the Night

shirtless male, gazing intently to the side with hand raised in dramatic gesture; an ivy vine is gently draped over the hand which is transforming from flesh to gold

Move Better, Draw Better

Expanding my routines freed up my thinking about health and physique, freed up my body and, believe it or not, freed up my art, too.
