From the 6th grade until I graduated from High School I filled eight thick sketchbooks. My biggest impetus were drawings I'd create while copying nudes from 'dirty books' that I'd find on Loche Road, the small town's makeout spot. It was highly frequented on Friday and Saturday nights and we'd 'ditch it' each time headlights glared.

Unfortunately, my mother found my hiding place above the door when I was in High School. I was so embarassed, I ripped them all up and threw them into the River, behind my house, so I don't have many examples of the earlier nudes. ( Yes, I just heard some of you gasp. )
