While some artists find endless opportunity on a blank page, others feel overwhelmed by its very blankness -- what to draw? Will it be any good? Author and Washington University professor
John Hendrix believes that
Drawing Is Magic. He shares ideas and exercises from this newly published book from 5 to 7 p.m. this evening at Subterranean Books (6275 Delmar Boulevard, University City; 314-862-6100 or
www.subbooks.com), and everyone from casual doodlers to serious artistes will leave inspired. With illustrations appearing everywhere from
Esquire to the
New Yorker, plus an impressive library of children's books, Hendrix speaks from experience and fills any room with contagious creative energy. Admission is free.
