jorge cloomney

Probably one of my favorite things right now is drawing crummy drarings of close-up photographs of people ... by candlelight ... sitting on the floor ... with music playing. last night, my roommate, ad-rock, and i tackled this super-close-up foto of gorge clumly, star of Facts of Life, ER, and the Men in Black trilogy.
we used two candles. we listened to animal collective's "merriweather post pavillion." i drew in dark blue ink. adam drew in pencil but he promised to never erase. last night, i thought the man adam drew looked british. but now i think maybe turkish. adam started to draw the "q" from "esquire." but he didn't want to write the rest. so he just shaded it in. i laughed really hard. so did he. he wanted to erase but stuck to his promise. he also drew the bar-code and the sticker on the bottom of the picture. i thought that was cool. so i did the same. sort of.
at one point, i stopped drawing and adam and i simultaneously noticed that i was drawing paul newman, somehow, instead of george clooney. we laughed for a long time at that. then i continued working on the drawing. then he started looking less like paul newman. aaaaaand less like george clooney. but i really wish i had taken a picture of it back when it looked like paul newman because it looked SO MUCH like him and it didn't make sense. it was hilarious. also, in one of the eyes, i shaded in the wrong part by accident. so i just stuck with it. and made it like a marble eye. george clooney has a glass eye. you didn't know that? that rumor started HERE.
