So to try something new and different I went cross Country Skiing for New Year's. Me and a batch of my adventure buddies left the wives,
girlfriends and cell phones at home and went out to hit the trails to prove (among other things) that I can still have a good time without alcohol. Lo and behold; it was a blast. I went years ago and found that it got in the way of my partying. I was forever stopping for a smoke and a hit off the pipe or the flask. This time was completely different. It was a great workout and a good time was had by all. No one fell down. OK, I fell down once. Twice. Both times while standing completely still. Laugh all you want, somebody was
purposely moving the ground. Anyway I had a grand time and it was good to see old friends. Anyone else do anything interesting for new years?
Thanks for the comments. I have lots of new art to share with you. I'm trying not to let a day go by without doing something. I did these portraits late Monday night. I find drawing and painting exhausting now! A high level of concenttation is required. These don't make me look great but I think they look pretty fuckin realistic for line drawings straight onto the page in pen.
