Flaming ArtistNot much to say here. I started out trying to
fabricate the face and upper body of my “clone of desire”, but found myself
unable to do so. This guy is okay, but I wouldn’t lose any sleep over him. The
dick dangling against his ear is too big, but I needed to get the tip into
position for the guy’s finger and include that man’s knee in the
composition. Compromises had to be made.
This drawing is not at all
influenced by Picasso, except that it’s mostly blue in color (referencing Mr.
P’s Blue Period), and seems to be set in Africa (Cubism was heavily influenced
by African Art).
I
rather like it, though, looking at it a year later, it would have been better
without the shadow of the foliage that runs directly behind the black man’s
penis, thus making it almost unreadable. Or maybe that’s a good thing.
Cut paper collage. I purchased a couple of (expensive)
packets of scrap art paper at my favorite art supply store (Swain’s, in
Glendale, California, USA), cut out the various shapes with an Exacto knife and
glued them down with good ol’ Elmer’s glue. Then I drew into it with
colored pencil
Nothing special here. Colored pencil sketch taken from
a photo found on the web. I sort of like the way the drawing echoes the shape
of the South American continent .
On this drawing, I cut out sections from various
pieces of scrap pager, then glued it onto the page. I then painted into it
with gouache and drew onto it with
colored pencil.
This drawing is similar to yesterday’s in theme and
subject. I probably should have done it as cut-paper, only I liked the
crude-yet-subtle application of the colored pencil.
This drawing is completely
in colored pencil—no cheating assistance from Tombo Brush pens (laying in a
time-saving gray tone underlay) here. Dunno why not. I think I was engaged
watching a movie on cable while drawing. “Puss N Boots”, if memory serves.
Once again, colored pencil, non-repro blue, navy blue
and gray, I’d say. I’m sort of proud of this one; it’s completely from my
imagination, done very quickly, in 15 minutes or less.
More colored pencil.
This
one is based off a vintage photo from the one of the first gayporn mags I ver
bought, back in 1983. I think I used 3 colors to execute this drawing;
lavender, navy blue and gray. It has a ghostly feel to it.
With this image, I fully embraced using the printed
pages of the Daily Planner, instead of ignoring these pages or avoiding them as
too distracting. This has led to some really fertile, evocative images. I’ve
gotten a lot of feedback that this is the most interesting work in these
sketchbooks.
