In July Edna Casman and I met to draw the 2nd in my studio and the 30th in her studio. August 6th we met again in her studio. The drawings above are from these sessions. They do not appear in the order we did them. I’ve forgotten what order they appeared. As we draw and the drawing reveals itself to us line by smear, we often attach an amusing situation or story, which, in turn, suggests additions to the drawing. The drawing just above began in a warm-up effort in the morning as a lazy moon lying at the bottom of the sheet of paper. A few more lines made it a boat. In the afternoon, on the “good” paper (which, by the way, has risen in price by more than a dollar a sheet the last several months) a dragon menaces the boat, now occupied by two figures, one of whom shows a distressing nonchalance, considering the nearness and size of the writhing threat. This all happens under a rainy, cloud covered sky.
