Are these color pencil sketches? Really interested in getting started with something like this

gouache paint~i sketch in pencil, outline in pen then 2-3 layers of gouache. worth a try, more opaque than watercolors & less toxic fumes than oil :)

absolutely! just a heads up, gouache tends to dry fast (i prefer acrylic gouache) so limits time compared to watercolor layering or oil. just someth to keep in mind :)

I know that photo well.

My former boss’s boss, Mark Bozek, was Bill’s assistant(?) back in the day. He put on a exhibit some time recently, and directed a film “The Times of Bill Cunningham”.

You should make some high quality scans and sell prints of them - I'd love some of these framed in my apartment.

I used to pasteurize/freeze ice cream at Davey’s. Did it a few summers in a row. One of the best jobs I ever had.

Had to taste every batch I made.

Haha dont blame u, quality control

2

CherryDarling10 t1_iu8e1j5 wrote

No seriously. I had to taste every batch I froze. 10-15 batches a day. It was way more dairy than anybody should be eating. Even just a spoonful. My digestive system hated me. My face started to break out… it was glorious

Does he still sell prints anywhere? There used to be a store in the village that had them, but they closed. I tried searching online recently, but came up empty.

whatistodaynow OP t1_iuaxjsq wrote

he usually sells in person outside! he has a faster/looser illustrative vibe. hope it helps, tnx for supporting nyc artists!💗

Gabano t1_iuampgz wrote

Yeah. He’s normally around WV and you guys can buy from him. There’s a store on Hudson that used to sell them as well. You can ping him as well and he’ll tell you where he is / sell to you. He still does originals as well that he’ll paint you in.

If you’re hangering for one, PM me and I can provide his phone number.
