Participating in the annual Philadelphia Open Studio Tours means really putting yourself out there for all to see. Being an artist model also puts one under a focussed gaze, the experience inspired DoN to ask some of his artist friends to contribute works created when DoN modeled at The Plastic Club and the Philadelphia Sketch Club. Thank you to all the fine artists who provided their work, it feels so narcissistic but DoN LoVeS the attention!
