The desire to impress ladies, needless to say. Really, seriously â I began drawing women at Lexington Club as a way to present my self, in a manner that had been a lot more original than offering them a drink or eagerly vocal along towards jukebox’s Pat Benatar. We started collecting the illustrations and thinking about it more as a “project” while I heard the bar was actually shutting.

On Halloween of 2014 I held judge within my preferred area in the bar and drew gorgeous people in costume outfit, just who subsequently ordered me personally drinks. A lovely lady (or perhaps â one who actually a cis man) passed me personally a card having said that “you’re fucking amazing. Keep that shit upwards” and walked away. I went into her once more to my solution to get the BART and practiced the first hug since my Major separation that felt enjoyable and gorgeous. Thus â that has been a good evening.
