Some Kind of Love

Norma Jeane, 9x12 grey marker and sumi brushpen sketch

Here's a warm-up sketch I did last night before settling into a few hours of work. I think I'd mentioned before that Marilyn Monroe is very difficult for me to draw, so I like to take up the task as a challenge every now and again.

Perhaps I've also had this type of bombshell visual on my mind because I just spent the last two weeks watching the first season of the spectacular series Mad Men. I've never been so delighted and saddened in all my life! If you haven't seen it, and you like the things you see on this blog, I strongly recommend it. And, if you happen to have AMC, can I please move in with you for Season Two?

Though, further back in the month, Marilyn may also have been on my mind after reading The Misfit's Bobby Steele write recently in The Villager on why 'Die Yuppie Scum' is hate speech.
