This guy can draw! George was a student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and this is a collection of pencil drawings from that time. Great life drawings. A suite of drawings of fellow students in a life drawing class; the live figure drawings themselves; commuters on the bus and on the BART; restaurants; classrooms; and much more.
