Well - this is absolutely the worst fucking drawing I’ve done in my entire life. Bill! I’m sorry!! (I later made amends to Bill.)
Bill is an old house-mate of mine. He was a friend of a friend, who eventually
became my friend. Bill is an anglophile,
an esthete, a dandy, a mod, a connoisseur of music, a patriot, and a student of
history. Plus he turned me on to
“Hellraiser” and a bunch of other great horror movies.
I really hit the wall with this one. I started it three times and couldn’t get a
handle on it, and then went with this version because I was running out of
time. Bill has very distinctive features
so I initially thought that drawing him was going to be a breeze. But I got so many things wrong. Basic stuff – but at the time I couldn’t see it
and couldn’t fix it. I truly felt like I
had forgotten how to draw. Which is my
greatest fear, that one day I will forget.
Is this the beginning of the end? Damn you Bill!
