Happy 80th Birthday to the legendary composer Stephen Sondheim. The New York Philharmonic and a star studded cast performed a birthday concert at Avery Fisher Hall on Monday night. The event was appropriately short on speeches, putting the music of the prolific Sondheim first.

    With the present trend of turning old movies and television shows into theater, Sondheim is a throw back to when the theater was art and you gladly would spend a premium to see it. A genius!

    Great portrait . . . How long did this one take?

    Thanks VEe! This doodle went very quickly, maybe two minutes. I try to think mostly about proportion as opposed to rendering. In fact, the amount of lines are usually an inverse indicator of how well I think I’m doing. A fully rendered portrait means I’m trying to cover all my mistakes.

    Another reminder that I need to practice, practice, practice.
