Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

Spent a couple quiet hours sketching tonight. Been a long time since I put pencil to paper like this; 8th grade maybe? What is that, 13 years ago? Jesus. I still remember making the decision to leave my art class with Mr. Gaudette to choose football. This was right when I was going to graduate to oil paint, too. It’s not that I regret the decision - I loved high school football, and parts of college ball as well. I just wish it had been easier to balance the two, or I had been more aware of the ease with which I would drop the artistic stuff.
Oh well. It is what it is.
Below is the original, from Reiner Leist’s American Portraits. Click here to buy the book on Amazon. It was a farewell gift from my German colleagues in Munich when I returned to the States last year, and it has been a welcome addition to my library. The photos and stories come together for a really offbeat perspective on the pastiche of American culture.
