Here is the online posting for the event:
FREE LIFE DRAWING EVENT ("FLASH MOB") (castro / upper market)
SAT 3 DEC 1:30-3:30 - It is at Market/Castro @ 17th street. In the Parklet in front of the Twin Peaks Tavern.
I am a professional art model (and artist) hosting a public life drawing class. This will be documented as a performance. I need people to participate by coming to draw. I will be doing a range of poses from gestural 3 min poses to 20 minutes. The weather forecast says it will be sunny.
All skill levels welcome.
B.Y.O. drawing paper, charcoal, pencils etc"
Though this was my favorite, see a few more at flickr.com/photos/46167832@N00/archives/date-taken/2011/12/03/

(klondike goes to his closet, rummages through his old art supplies and takes out a sketch pad. Hasn't been used in years, in fact, not since the last time he took life drawing (as can plainly be seen by the first pic he opens the pad to)). Then he goes back and rereads Crispus's post. You mean its over?? It was one day for two hours? Darn.....)
Anyway, this is all very cool, and I think the woman is among a very select, very exclusive club of naked performance artists here in the USA. I will go look for more pics...
thanks, Crispus -
