I've been taking classes at Studio 2nd Street with Ron and Vanessa Lemen for almost a year now. They are excellent instructors. I'm currently learning techniques with gouache. Here are some experiments: On every second Friday they have a "Sketch Night" usually with a band playing. It's a good time. Ron Lemen
This Halloween, my employees at the San Diego Zoo decided to play a little prank on me. They replaced all the demos that we have displayed at our booths; normally with kids and zoo animals with variations of myself. I was very surprised and honored even though there were quite a few confused guests, but luckily the merchandise staff was very amused.
