Jamming on a rug, on a face, on a mass of knots tied in woolen thread. Got to do another one like this. The improv nature of this one has a certain appeal, but I'd like to see one executed with more deliberation.

Cole Porter & Josephine Baker in New Orleans
Yes, they fell in love in Paris and, despite his marriage and other liaisons, shipped out for a sortie to New Orleans. There they stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel on Canal St and hung out, incognito, in the Blue Room. Their after-hours suppers at Bailey's were part of the legend of the Roosevelt.
Billie the Kid and his mane
Is there anything more joyously eye-catching than a fine hat? Well, yes, there is. But in this sketch it's the hat and people who know how to purchase and wear them that's up front. And what of a finely processed head of hair? Equally righteous, I'd say.
I plan more sketch work on Billie but as a character he's part of my pantheon.
