I suck my drink down
all the way to the bottom
just like my life
all the way to the bottom
the fractured chips
how beautiful they shine
way up there in aroma heaven
my dark crimson ‘lipstuck’
always looks prettier on the rim
after the glass has been emptied
when staring up isn’t so painful
charcoal nudes done way, way back in high school
this was an experiment – from the writing aspect, not the drinking;)

If this is an “experiment” then you must keep experimenting, because this, my dear, is Callas at her finest. This, dare I say, is bel canto — the bel canto of AMRK. I want you to keep “experimentin'” because you do it better than anyone I know of. And oh, btw, the art is mighty fine and sexy too; I like that the model isn’t some anorexic chick. “The fractured chips / how beautiful they shine” — fuck me, that’s terrific. 🙂

leave it to you to make me laugh and blush at the same time

I’m really trying to go off road and crash through brambles in a monster truck with my eyes closed;)

You’re welcome, my saucy friend. And you’re welcome to drive that monster truck out to my woods on this here dune and scramble around all you want — just be careful because my “neighbor” is shooting his blasted gun right now (WTF?) and he might think you’re a deer (or doe). I think I can already see Volume #2 of AMRK being formed on anntogether.com (and that’s good; while you’re pulling one book together you start working on the next one). Anyhoo, keep “experimenting” — I like it!

This brings back memories of figure studies in basic studio in college. We also drew each other, clothed, in my high school art club.

I miss drawing nudes in a class. I hope to return to a model studio in the near future. I’ve gotten too far away from drawing live figures.

“my dark crimson lipstick” — great image! Ah yes….some of those who sit at the bar tending that drink, tipping it till the ice hits the nose….letting it sit while they meditate, waiting for the ice to melt to just get a little bit more taste of that firewater…….oh my mind moves wth this one.
And might I say, high school??? Talented then…megatalented now. I agree — get thee to a figure studies class again! Just amazing that a hand and a piece of charcoal and a keen teenage eye could produce this!

thank you, Lillian
half of my senior year was spent in an Independent Study program where I drove my little, white Ford Maverick with the blue-plaid interior to a fabulous figure drawing class – my initial drawings were beyond horrible. It’s amazing though, how one loses that languid touch when not using live models – I do plan on returning to a figure class in the future – kiddies to colleges first though:)
