Gregoire came by today for some drawings; we have had numerous missed connections over the past several months, so it was with great joy that we finally saw each other today. He is as cute as ever, with a new shorn haircut, and is newly in love, and had the glowing attitude to prove it. I will be drawing him with his new boyfriend this weekend - it will be fun, and I am curious to meet him.

Anyway, I wasn't sure what to do today, so I went through I file I have of drawings and paintings of old masters to give me ideas, and I came across the drawing below

I don't know who the artist was, but I was captivated by the idea, and so had Gregoire pose as a faun, inspired by both the drawing and memories of Debussy and L'après-midi d'un faune. The photos that follow were taken during breaks - the drawings I did follow at the end.

Below are the two drawings, which I love. They did not fit in the scanner, so the feet of the faun are cut off in both of them, but they should give you an idea.

My assistant will be posting them soon!
