From the 6th grade until I graduated from High School I filled eight thick
sketchbooks. My biggest impetus were
drawings I'd create while copying nudes from 'dirty books' that I'd find
on Loche Road, the small town's makeout spot. It was highly frequented
on Friday and Saturday nights and we'd 'ditch it' each time headlights
glared.
Unfortunately, my mother found my hiding place above the door when I was
in High School. I was so embarassed, I ripped them all up and threw them
into the River, behind my house, so I don't have many examples of the
earlier nudes.
( Yes, I just heard some of you gasp. )
