10/30/10

Probably finishing my second Bargue drawing next week. Just a couple more things to refine.
I unfortunatelt don't have an updated picture of my charcoal drawing. One more week with on that, though I feel like I need maybe only a day more with it.
Lucas, Jo (British), Amy (New Zealand), and I went to Lucca today. It's a small town a little over an hour train ride from Florence. We went to see the town and because this is the last weekend of the Lucca Game and Comic Convention. We really didn't expect it, but THE ENTIRE TOWN was the convention. Literally the entire town was taken over by the convention. Europeans definitely know how to throw a convention. They also dress up for them better. The costumes we saw were all really well made and very wide ranged. Although the Italians seem to love Resident Evil and Star Wars above all. They also had the gallery of Illustrators. James Gurney (creator of Dinotopia, if any of you know what that is) was there. He's Lucas's role model in terms of art and a great inspiration, so it was nice to meet him and he was very awesome about talking with us about art. Here's a photo dump of just a couple of the photos from today:
