It has nothing to do with the art I&#8217;m working on now. In recent months, I&#8217;ve been busier than ever with paid work as a projectionist, photographer, and videographer, and I&#8217;ve been using the improved cashflow to keep myself busier than ever with drawing and filmmaking. I&#8217;ve been doing consistent experimental figure drawing work in my studio with a few wonderful model-collaborators, pursuing fresh developments in the practice &#8211; but I&#8217;m not ready to show this work yet. Nowadays people tend to share every new thing in their lives immediately on Facebook or Twitter, but I think there&#8217;s something to be said about the old approach of laboring in obscurity and then going public with something fully-formed. I also have new video projects in the works, also not ready to share. In the meantime, I&#8217;ll keep the blog going with the kinds of posts you&#8217;ve come to expect, with new posts a little less frequent than they have been in the past. The new work will come out when it&#8217;s done.<\/p>\n<p>So for now, please join me on an urban nocturne. Let&#8217;s go for a night drive.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5045\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredhatt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fredhatt-2012-self-portrait-driving.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5045\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5045\" alt=\"Self Portrait Driving, 2012, photo by Fred Hatt\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredhatt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fredhatt-2012-self-portrait-driving.jpg?resize=600%2C397\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredhatt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fredhatt-2012-self-portrait-driving.jpg?w=600 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredhatt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fredhatt-2012-self-portrait-driving.jpg?resize=300%2C198 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5045\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Self Portrait Driving, 2012, photo by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Sun, when it&#8217;s up, \u00a0is such an alpha dog that all other lights are wheezing three-legged omega chihuahuas at best.
