The Hallway show this week is Guy Fieri, next week Danny can pick.
You will be missed.
This is my favorite drawing/painting of Ron that I have. Why? Because in Anatomy, Eugene wanted us to try water based oils. I had never tried them before. We had to crop our painting to just a few features rather than a whole figure. I always had a fascination with Ron's hair. It was always one of my favorite parts of drawing him. Sometimes it would be long and flowy, sometimes it was in a ponytail, I even have a few where he has a bun. And no matter how crappy of a drawing someone did of him, or how unlike him it looked, if you saw that nice hair of his, you knew that was a drawing of Ron. When this pose was done, Ron went around the room like he always did to see what everyone drew. I was still doing some things to mine when he came up to me and said "wow, that's really neat, I don't think I've seen anyone crop a pose of me like that before." I remember telling him "thanks Ron! I just think you have great hair," and he smiled and laughed and walked on. Therefore, this is very dear to me. I am sad and happy now.
I have hundreds of drawings of Ron. Hundreds and hundreds. But somehow, these three drawings are the only thing I have left. The rest are hiding in my parent's house in the basement. These drawings are from early Freshman year, over 4 years ago, when I was still a little shocked each week to find myself drawing a naked man. But it's because of Ron that I got better at drawing. Each semester, you can see it in Ron's face, in his hands, in the gestures of his pose, that I was improving, and it was all thanks to him. Nobody else got into it like he did. He would stay in his pose for twenty minutes when the class was on break and there was absolutely nobody else in the room, and then continue the pose for the rest of class. He would make the funniest and most complex faces and poses because he was so into character. I would see him at the Student Show openings, manning tables or helping hand out information for interested art buyers. He even attended the Illustration Potlucks. He was a part of our family and he truly loved CCS. No other model comes close to the dedication he had. We all share memories and funny stories of Ron throughout the years which binds us together in a way nobody else would understand.
