View post →This is one of over a hundred drawings I made in Paris. I fell in love with Paris. This drawing in particular was produced inside the Chartres Cathedral. It caught my absolute attention. The sculpture just captures the perfect picture of what life in the spirit could be. The Cathedral itself was enormous, I think […]

There’s no other place like it, the shops, the history, the food, THE ART! Here’s a drawing I made in the Musee National Picasso during a trip abroad traveling with my associates at 1482.
