I wasn't going to add this...but it's grown on me.
This is a detail shot from an intermediate step in preparing "Broken - The Last Supper" for underpainting.

Though it was overpainted an hour later it inspired me to do more work like this.

I needed to create a cohesive group from over 30 different photos printed to scale traditionally in the darkroom...and from a Holga nonetheless since my main camera died on the first shot and it's all I had. Once I laid the final images out I felt that just having the faces in (what would be) darkness..they still needed bodies. They need substance.

I didn't have them. So guess who learned how to draw on the spot...

So I drew them in two days before I needed to create the entire piece live. In looking at this step I knew that I needed to do more work like this and leave it as it is.

So though this doesn't exist anymore (in this form) it is a stage and surprise discovery in the art process.

All of the images were shot with developmentally disabled adults from the Peppermint Ridge Facility in Corona, CA.
