Okay for this week’s museum sketch we take you to the the Seattle Asian Art Museum and their wonderful Indian Sculpture gallery. I always like drawing in this room. First of course because of the great selection of Greco-Indian Sculpture from northern India, and second, since the room doubles as the museum’s bistro. I have the luxury of sitting down with my sketchbook resting on a table when I draw which yields a much better image.

So what we have today is a statue of Kama, the Hindu God of Love (more accuratly Kamadeva, aparantly Kama also refers to the concept.

The statue is from Orissa in the 11th Century and done in sandstone. More details here.

Well just finished restocking on books and promotional materials for the Emerald City Comic convention. Including a new promotional postcard. This is a huge relief, I always feel like I put all of this off until the last minute and end up spending the last remaining weeks stressing out about whether everything will get to me on time.
I’ll be with the Cartoonists Northwest Table at #1005 Come and see me, I’m looking forward to it!

Friday Museum Sketches

Okay, today’s sketch is an old one. It’s a statue of the god Shiva from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts Indian collection. Apparently it’s from the Chola Period, 10th Century A.D. (unfortunatly this is another one of the sketches back from the time I was more interested in drawing a nice picture than in taking good notes.)
