This drawing is fairly simple but not as abstract as the two recent drawings. This one is more like Kirby or Bruce Timm than Matisse or non-Cubist Picasso
This drawing and yesterday reminds me of Matisse and Picasso’s non-cubist etchings. If I do say so myself/
This was limned quickly,
with no preparatory under-drawing, using ballpoint pen. No corrections were
made; I left the “mistakes” as a signifier of spontaneity.
Unlike Tuesday’s posting of
a sketch made on September 29, 2012, I like this drawing’s crudity. It sort of
reminds me of Picasso’s post-cubist etchings, or of Matisse at his more
realistic.
I
speak of the artist who drew this almost as he were a person other than myself;
I didn’t really control what came out onto paper from the pen. My choice was in
accepting it as “good”.
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.
