1. Very nice sketches … I personally like the suffix “-apalooza” and find it hard to resist. I also like that photograph (Dali in general as well) and I think it was made in collaboration with Philippe Halsman who also took the famous “In Voluptas Mors” (he spent 3 hours preparing seven models to make the skull image) which inspires so many tributes still today .

   • Oh yeah, Dali originally made that image as a gauche painting before adapting it to a live photo shoot …

   • practice makes perfect, or so I’ve been told…

   • But you can! It starts with an earnest desire to do something. You already have that:”They are really good sketches. I wish I could draw like that!” Alex has already been where you are now, Give it a try, publish it and allow true artists like him, comment on it. A sculptor, had completed a statue of a very life-like elephant once, long ago. Someone asked,how he managed to get the statue so perfect? The artist replied, saying:”It was easy, I simply chipped off the peaqces that did’nt look like an elephant.

     • Everyone starts out drawing stick figures, but if you want to improve you gotta stick with the figure drawing #rimshot

10. Incredible! Alex, just keep right on featuring your, unique “sexy” form of art. Sketching is my own medium, I.E. pencil, and charcoal.
