Keenan Is a Killer K

--
actually, i totally forgot until i started grabbing my San Francisco pictures off my camera [i'm now back in Brooklyn; just put in my first 2 shifts at AA- felt great, though tiring- still need sleep]- so yeah, this is the first presentable drawing i did in 2007. i just didn't get to keep it. i did it very quickly at the Vapor Room in San Francisco so i'd have something to trade for two marker drawings by Keenan, a fantastic young artist i met there. i don't have his permission to share his work on the internet, but it was much better than 'Keenan Is a Killer K'.

there's not much going on in this drawing except a simple spirit of celebration, but i drew it in a really perfect moment. the Vapor Room is an intensely special place- the 'sheltering sky', if you will. i always feel protected there, comfortable on their orange couches. so yeah, i did the drawing in about 30 minutes and i'm fond of it and i gave it away. it was the first drawing i did in 2007 at all, actually. i'm happy about the whole thing.

and Keenan is a Killer K. he could probably poke holes in the sky.
