The Mildly Interesting Thoughts of Phil
I'm keeping a really cool journal for my acting class. I'm going to share some of my fave. entries from the project. Also, I try to be funny. Often, it falls flat.
Phil Draws it Forward: Round One
So, just to be a nice guy (I'm guessing that's why I agreed to this) I put an ad on Craigslist and offered a free handdrawn picture. I made up some stupid back story about how "I am an aspiring art school student trying to create a portfolio to showcase my drawing style..." This is a collection of the last five entries. Yes, I'm working in "last come, first served order". I have stricken the names as to keep them anonymous, and I have also stricken the date, as to keep my terrible work ethic secret.

I'll post my pictures in the arena when I finish with them.

They will most probably suck.

And just imagine the emoticons as the sender. I think they're pretty close to the real deal.

Hi!
What a great way to get some ideas flowing and pictures drawn for your portfolio!
My boyfriend is a real horse lover, and together we have 4 horses and 2 ponies. If I sent you pictures of the horses' faces, could you put them together as a kind of montage? That would be soooo coool!!!
Thanks for considering it!

Hello artist,
My name is ######. I love art and have been wanting a portrait for a while.

I want a picture of me sitting on my butt, hugging my knees, side view,nude.Hair down, face solemn. The setting can be sitting in an empty bathtub, old style, deep and wide. With the golden or silver handles and such. look the old bathtubs up on google images. the ones that stand alone, not built in a room.

If this costs, no thanks. But here is an assignment for you!!!

Can you do a drawing of the Pax Romana?

one time i was in a video arcade room and saw something that i thought would be a great photo or painting.

there was a little boy around four or five years old who was trying to play one of those arcade games where the controller is a machine gun.

Standing on his tipy toes, he was too short to even see the screen. despite his height, he still managed to play the game.

if you don't like or use this idea that's ok.

if you do decide to use it all i ask is that you scan a copy or the drawing and email it to me.

thanks ! good luck on your portfolio.
