Today is the first rest day for the
Tour de France riders, and boy, do they need it. There have been a ton of crashes so far, including one that involved a car clipping a cyclist and sending them into barbed wire! Yeesh. I really wanted to ride at least 20 miles of each day of the tour, but life got in the way :( Hats off to them!

Some sketches for a music festival bring me back to my old favorite diver's helmet, and, I have to say, a welcome break from bike drawings/paintings. It's very difficult for me to do a themed show, since once I start drawing only one thing, it seems like I want to draw anything but that subject.

You may remember this old guy from 2009. Still love him!

My studio= so hot. My face= melting. Motivation= gone. Perhaps an air conditioned coffeeshop for the evening for some life drawing.
