This dumb-ass pushed a woman to the ground during the peaceful protest in Greenville Saturday. He was carrying a handgun on his right side. He left before the lackadaisical Greenville Police could amble over to charge him with assault. Anybody know him? #greenvillesc #dumbass #shitforbrains

I went to the huge Greenville protest today. It's a shame that I had to explain to the younger folks there who Pat Tillman was.

Another graphite sketch by Angela Cunningham (I think). It's a shame that graphite just doesn't photograph very well. This doesn't do her work any justice. #over60model #graphitesketch #malemodel #figuredrawing #artnude #fineartnude #malenude #lifedrawing #nudeart #maturemodel #artmodel
