I was fascinated by the bloated mugs of ugly blowhards.

(Enlarge.)

I can't remember who that character was, but I drew that, from the TV, in the mid-90s.

ALP said...: I am oddly touched by this post, as it reminds me of conversations I had with my mother while I was young. She was artistically inclined - that's where I got my love of drawing.

She took figure drawing classes at night, and would come home and bitch if the model was, what she called, "a perfect little twinkie", meaning, a pert young girl with perfect proportions that was no fun to draw.

But the drawing sessions that featured wrinkly old men, or very large women inspired her - and she would go on and on about how much fun it was to draw the wrinkles, craggy valleys, and huge mounds of the more interesting models.; 8/8/10, 11:19 AM
