This is the first in a series of jock-strap framed buttock that plays out over several days. This one was done with cut pager. I like its simplicity.
This one is cut paper. It could make a cool logo, with
some refinement. For “The World Wide Federation of Dicks”. Or something like
that.
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.
For today’s blog, I once
again am showing both pages of the folio. On the left page one can see the torn
paper edge of the hips of the man from yesterday’s drawing. One can also see
clearly how the moisture from the glue warps and distorts the thin paper of the
date book.
On the
right we see two dates, and two images combined as one. For the image dated
10-28-12 we have the torn paper silhouette of a profile crotch shot,
overlapping the page underneath, which has a torn paper profile of a open
mouthed man wearing an expression of rapt supplication.
Just for laughs, I’m showing
both sides of the folio spread for today’s Daily Dick. I’m working with cut
paper again, a give-away flier advert from my local art supply shop, painted
into with watercolor and gouache. On the reverse side of the folio page, one
can just make out the cut-out shape of the previous page’s dick, glimpsed in
yesterday’s blog. It was a fortuitous accident that the yellow button on the
man’s shorts appeared as a yellow sun on the dick head of the previous page’s
image. It’s cool when shit like that works out.
As an
afterthought, I carefully tore off the paper to the right side of the man’s
hips and legs. So, not only do you get cut paper, you get torn paper.
So, I did this image as cut paper, not only glued onto
the calendar page, but cutting through it to the calendar page beneath, which
has a cut paper image on IT. In other words, you’re witnessing a cut paper
image of a cut paper image.
The cut-paper play continues
in its latest iteration This time I glued down the left-over sheet onto the
folio-right page, used it as a stencil to cut a frisket into that page. I
turned the page to the calendar week of May 13 through 19. and used the folio-left
page frisket to paint onto the folio left page of the previous week, probably
in acrylic, left over from a painting I was working on at the time,
Next, with great care, I
glued down the penis/testicle combo shape I had just cut out of the May 9th
through May 12 folio-right page onto the May 16 through May 19 folio-right
page. One has to look carefully to notice.
Actually, this reminds me of
a form of drawing I got into for a while: using a semi-pointed, hard stylus
with no ink or graphite or anything else in it and, basically, embossing the
paper. And that’s it. I did
several interesting drawings that way before I lost interest. I don’t know if
any of them are in this book.
Today I continue playing with the penis/testicle
cut-paper combo I created for the pages I posted yesterday. This one, I drew
into with colored pencil. Is this an African American penis, as opposed to an
Asian penis? You decide.
For today, and the next few
days, I’ll be working in cut paper. I started with the simple shape of the
penis/testicle combination. I cut out several copies of the same shape all at
one time, then glued them down on various pages in varies way, using the leftover
sheets as stencils, gluing THEM down as well.
In
today’s image, I let myself be inspired by the close-up photograph of the coral
reefs in the US Virgin Islands. Combining the penis/testicle shapes in this
manner reminded me of a hydra, which seems like the kind of thing one might
come across in a coral reef. Also, the “flowers” emerging from the coral
reminded me vaguely of the male and female symbols. It seemed appropriate to
draw white lines between the two circular “eyehole” shapes with Prismacolors.
I’m jumping ahead a few days
(re-the ordered sequence of drawing in my “Daily Penis” sketchbook that I began
on August 26. 2012 and completed on November 27th of the same year);
it seemed important to post these drawings (or, at least, the last one) on this
day.
I started working with cut paper a few days before I did these. I’d cut the shapes out, glue them down, at this point with Elmer’s glue, then draw back into them with Prismacolor or whatever I was using at the time.
The first and second
drawings work together. I cut a slit in the butt page and can slide the
partially adhered dick on the facing page through it, getting the whimsical
effect on the first drawing. When people turn the page they are surprised to
find the dick caught in the ass on the facing page. I have to caution them to
take care in extricating the dick.
The
third drawing pretty much speaks for itself. Anything I write will interfere
with audience projection.
