As in most of my “Daily Derriere” posts, I’m working out of an American Express Appointment Book for 2012. I started this series of drawings on January 1st, 2013 and started posting them on January 1st 2016, hence the weird dating, both in the drawings and the posting there-of.
My favorite drawings in the series are like this one, drawn and/or painted over the double page photo spreads that headed each month. I would stare at the photo until an image arose from my sub-conscious before I started in, usually completing the drawing in 15 minutes or less. In fact, that was part of the parameters of the project: do an artwork everyday on the subject of butts, working fast and loose without any attempt to do good work. These were the same parameters as in my previous series, “The Daily Dick”. I knew from experience that it would take longer to blog the work, which entailed scanning and cataloguing each image, possibly writing a paragraph or two about each image, then posting the image, both on this blog and then on my Facebook page. However, I’ve been somewhat remiss in this series since I’ve rarely written anything to go with the posted images. My reason is, I’m doing another daily blog on my www.raderofthelostart.com site where I AM writing a paragraph to accompany the posted images.
