John:
It is so good to see your face. I have often wondered what you really look like.
Shalom from Jerusalem

"Endless cocktails", eh? That explains a lot.

Excellent! Thanks for the dose of reality. I appreciate it.
Plus, now I can toss aside my mental image of your disembodied hand and eye studiously focused on a floating easel or incline, and replace it with the real you in a beautifully functional form with a roll of toilet paper at the ready.
Hmmm... that dancing cowgirl in the background looks strangely familiar. She's evoking imaginings of a turkey baster. Kinky.
But, dude, do my eyes deceive me, or did you ditch the 'stash? I'm actually sad I noticed that, since it means I've been staring at your self caricature waaay too long. So very sad.
Je voudrais une vie.

HEY KEVIN
Good eye. That photo is from a few monts ago....pre-'stache. It has it's own Social Security Number now.
The toilet paper is for watercolor clean-up and texture effects. Extra absorbant!
You recognized "Suburban Cowboys" which I posted not too long ago. Extra points!

So the 'stashe is a new force to be reckoned with. A little paint. A little facial fooling around with your sketchbook. I think it's got potential. Convention be damned! :)
Textures and Leaks! Of course! Some here have an unpure mind. Thanks for clarifying the purpose of the toilet paper for them.
Woot! Extra points! I'm catching up, boys. :)

Oh, come on already, John. I know darn well that you cropped the photo to hide the jacuzzi.

Yeah, I want to see the three scantily clad woman you keep there, right next to the well stocked bar.

Nice photo, John. It's nice to see what a real, working artist's digs look like.
I posted something similar years ago, and people swore the photo was doctored. Everybody knows, apparently, that I have a bevy* of slave-elves doing all the drawing for me.
(*for "harem" values of "bevy")

Right-handed? RIGHT-HANDED? Everybody knows that all the creative people are left-handed, thereby using their RIGHT minds.
Unless, of course, the photo is reversed, in which case I humbly apologize.

I don't think the picture could be flopped. That's clearly a right-handed mechanical pencil he's using. The pocket clasp would be facing away from him if it was left-handed. Unless it's a Japanese brand, which would surprise me.

Hey Dicentra
Right-handeders UNITE! It's about time you creative lefty types give us righties a f***in' break.

HEY G
Okay...I have a team of dwarves that shine my shoes and a fine Latino women who advises me on stocks and bonds, but no......I DO NOT HAVE A JACUZZI.

John,
I look forward to meet you, Allen and the fine Latino women (I am not so interested in the shoe shiners ;) on my next trip to the Land of Opportunity.
Don't let the "dream become a nightmare"...
Cheerio!

Posh surroundings? Maybe not, but I'd still give anything to be able to draw like you do.
Well done indeed.
