Flaming Artist
This “drawing” was done simply by careful tearing the page of the 2012 AMERICAN EXPRESS DAILY APPOINTMENT BOOK” that I was using in 2013 when I did these drawings for the “DAILY DERRIERE” series. For better or worse, as I scanned this page on July 23rd, 2016, I made the snap judgment call to put another sheet of white paper behind the page to hide the page underneath (which will be the DAILY DERRIERE post for July 27, 2016) from view.
This drawing was done with Prismacolors. It’s a closer view of the photograph I copied on one of the DAILY DERRIERE posts for July 22nd. I drew it over the AMERICAN EXPRESS APPOINTMENT BOOK for 2012 that I was using as my sketchbook when I was doing the DAILY DERRIERE series back in 2013.
I drew this over 21 years ago.
Two drawings for the price of one! The first is a sketch from a vintage early 80’s photograph, probably from Drummer or Mandate, done with a Tombo brush pen. The second is from my fevered imagination, drawn with a ball point pen.
Running butts, drawn in Prismacolor.
This is copied from the same source photo as yesterday’s post with Prismacolors.
This is a scan of a sketch from 1994. Seems to be a police officer from some future utopia.
For the next month or so, most of the DAILY DERRIERE drawings will be taken from my dedicated DAILY DERRIERE sketchbook, done in 2013. Each days post will be taken from a drawing I did exactly 3 years ago on any given day. As with THE DAILY DICK series I executed and posted in 2012, I did the drawings in a re-purposed American Express Appointment Book from 2012. This appealed to my sense of perversity. Also, the shitty quality of the paper stock kept me from being too precious, too perfectionist, which I found artistically liberating. In the DAILY DICK series, it took me a couple of months to realize I could interact with the printed material in the book instead of trying to ignore it.
This drawing is copied from a old photo from the mid ’80’s. The drawing is a cropped version of the photo, as I recall. I purposefully allowed the partially sketched object in the lower right BG to be mysterious.
