My tribute to Joseph Gatto

Joseph Gatto, under whom I studied figure drawing at Art Center College of Design, was shot and killed in his home this past November.

It was a shocking event: I remember being stunned as I was casually listening to the morning local news that day, and looked up to see his picture on TV.  The class which I took with him was the last drawing course he taught after a long career before concentrating on his jewelry-making.  He was a good man, and a good teacher, and I'll always appreciate what he taught me.  Here are a few of the pieces I drew that term, under his guidance.
