This week I’m still battling a combination of MG and being out of town on fun trips, so we took another dive into the slush pile, and came up with a pencil drawing (Blackwing Palamino and Charcoal) that is really a bit of an unintentional doodle.

I was working in a sketchbook, attempting to draw an archway using high-contrast and negative space.

I was happy with it, but got bored and sometimes when that happens a nearly naked woman winds up in the drawing. In this case, since she’s in silhouette, she could be wearing a catsuit, and the more imaginative among you can craft your own storyline that she’s some kind of Emma Peelish spy lady running around in a Mediterranean coastal village or something.

This was done sometime last summer using the Blackwing Palamino plus a charcoal pencil on sketchbook paper.  After scanning, I removed a lot of smudges digitally because they annoyed me and I wanted this piece to look half-decent in the blog.

Hopefully, by next week, my MG will clear up a bit and so will my schedule, and maybe I can have a color painting or rough for you.

Before we get to the radio notes, I want to plug this show that I found out about too late to include in last week’s STUFF TO DO.  It’s in Morgantown tonight, organized by Todd Burge, and is for an important and urgent cause.

Over in radioland, Monday beginning at 2 PM on The AIR, we bring you a classic episode of Psychedelic Shack, and then at 3 PM an also classic edition of Herman Linte’s weekly showcase of the Progressive Rock of the past half-century, Prognosis.  You can listen to The AIR at the website, or on the embedded radio player elsewhere on this page.

Psychedelic Shack can be heard every Monday at 2 PM, with replays Tuesday at 9 AM, Wednesday at 10 PM, Friday at 1 PM,  and Saturday at 9 AM. You can hear Prognosis on The AIR Monday at 3 PM, with replays Tuesday at 7 AM, Wednesday at 8 PM, Thursday at Noon, and Saturday at 10 AM.

At 8 PM you can hear stand up from Eddie Griffin on a classic episode of The Comedy Vault.

Tonight at 9 PM for the Monday Marathon we bring you ten hours of unusual episodes of Prognosis, from the few months when yours truly was filling in as host while Herman Linte  was dealing with health issues. In case I didn’t mention it back then, ,Herman was still supplying the playlists.
