It has been ages since I could open the doors to my studio while I worked. If it wasn't the heat it was the humidity. Tuesday it was perfect so the doors are open and this was my view. Looking forward to many more.

In the studio today. I have been working on these drawings on and off for a while now. They always seem almost there. I took six that I had that feel closest to finished and worked on them. This is a little detail shot.

Strange. This came after all those scribble drawings. Something energetic and contained. Simple. Black and red, the only thing simpler is black or hueless scratching.

Some chaos here.
But it helped clear my head. Making some very compressed motions and see what results.

A quieter moment. What would it be like to restrain the number of marks I could make? Yes, this is what it would look like.

Again drawing with abandon. This time controlling the number of tools. Mostly scribbling wildly. I may have to put this on the list again to draw over and see what happens.

Just trying to have a lighter hand in this drawing. Trying to float a bit. Not be caught up in making too many marks. And to change the color palette to something unexpected. It feels good and I was surprised how it looks off the iPhone.

Don't think. Draw.
Too much thinking.

I've started on a second drawing in this series. I was surprised by the ease with which I was able to draw the marks this time. Maybe it had something to do with the humidity. Maybe it was me.

I did the drawing taped to a cardboard surface. Love the result of the drawing transparency on the cardboard surface. It made me think about the presentation of the drawing in a way that is different from any way than I had originally imagined. The thing about the Yupo Synthetic paper is that it can come into contact with a surface like cardboard and it wouldn't damage the drawing.
