Koyanaskatsi

OK, a small batch of new drawings, the late beginning of spring.

Aftermath

OK, the show went really well. Hal took these cool pictures and I'll post more soon. I've been sleeping a lot since then (crash and burn) and will be taking a mystery vacation with Sweet Hal on the weekend.
Ain't life grand?

Lots to do

I decided to 'fix' my graphite drawings for the show. It really goes against my grain as fixitive impacts the environment in a big negative way (aerosol issues, central nervous system damage, and - as the label whispers - carcinogens up the yin-yang). I think it's actually spray on plastic. Yuck. I did some research, but found nothing safer being used as an alternative. I was hoping for something like a baking-soda-and-rosewater-solution applied with a pump sprayer... alas.
Fortunately, it was a nice day for working outside.

More work for the show ...

... which is only 17 days away. Awp! Click here for details and directions.
Happy New Year!

TaDa!

I was wondering if I would blog again. Here is No. 5 of the big drawings for the show. I'll try later tonight to write about them. Right now I need to dash off to work.
Cheers.

New series

I've made these for the upcoming show... although they don't reproduce very well, I thought I'd put them up here. This has been a really productive time for me, but you wouldn't know it by checking out the blog.
I've given in to graphite for now (my studio is a no-go zone, dust covers everything). The ethereal quality seems right and everything I put on the paper sinks quite nicely into it. I will never give up on mystery, on telling only part of the story, on living alongside that which cannot be explained, only experienced.

Enter a new era

I've been getting ready for a solo show coming up in January... and have clean forgotten to post the big pieces to the blog. Here's a detail from a 5' x 5' drawing based on a much smaller sketchbook drawing. Unfortunately, I cannot get far enough away from the wall to take in the whole image.
So far, this series is looking like the rainy day drawings that inspired them.
