You're an absolutely amazing artist. What pencils do you use??; March 25, 2009 at 8:21:00 PM GMT
Chloe Cumming said...: Thanks Mr. Reccardi. I like that you pop out for my Brian drawings.

Not sure Brian was in a terribly good way in 1980.

Hi Emily,

Well, in these I probably used just a B mars lumograph. No actually, I sometimes start with a really hard pencil for pale lines, then ones the basic structure is there go in with darker ones.

I don't think nice pencils make a person better at drawing, but sometimes having nice pencils can help focus the mind.; March 26, 2009 at 12:21:00 PM GMT

I went to see Brian Wilson at a signing at Tower records about 8 years ago. He was so uncomfortable, he had his eyes trained on the table in front of him, where he was doing the autographs. His mouth was clenched shut. He didn't make any eye contact or say anything. He looked like his father.

On the other hand I saw him perform about 10 years ago, when he started performing again. He was nervous for the first half, but then loosened up and started playfully joking around with the audience.
On stage, during a break, he was pouring himself a
glass of water from a pitcher, and he said to the audience, " I wish you all had cups, so I could come around and give you all some water." Then he said," No, no, no, it's all for me!"; March 26, 2009 at 7:20:00 PM GMT
