studies for a collaborative project…

these are some rough sketches of a collaboration project I’m doing with Sarah Manson from Ireland, they are still only in their beginning states.

some of the drawings Im considering for the review

I need input… I have my own thoughts of course but always interested in what others have to say… take a look and let me know which 4 you would choose.

My two new favorites…

I love these but as usual they are collaborations and soon enough they will not look like this so as usual I need to share them with the world before they no longer exsist! Let me know what you think. The layering and color are really exciting for me also, the combination of mark making is quite interesting.

Integrating the figure…

I’m going to keep updating this post with works I do about the figure or that I believe are based off the figure. Today’s drawing was one of the first to truly be driven by the central figural element. Now there was never a goal at rendering a perfect carbon copy of a human just the hints of the form head, shoulder, knee, ect. I like how the figure remains the point of focus but only after you come to it through the fruit like forms that surround her.

drawings that made me crazy for no good reason

These drawings came from an assignment about hiding and revealing, I wish this was more natural but when ever I seem to think about these things I can’t do it, but the second I stop trying I get it! Anyway, I’m still working with the idea and I do like some of the shapes and draping, so this project will continue!
