I made this drawing in my sketchbook with charcoal pencil and marker when I was out of town and it’s been talking to me all week.
What’s it saying? Make more marks!
I also made a couple of more printer glitch drawings this week. This slow repetitive part of the process can last for a long time, but it’s where ideas burble up. If I do a little every day, doors open to unexpected places, like this one I did in color. I’m excited to mess around with a bunch of different color schemes this week.
This darker version makes me want experiment in the opposite direction – no color, obliterating the division even more.
It’s satisfying to have something to play with as I start some open range studio time, which is what June brings. In preparation, I did the quarterly studio mop yesterday. My studio welcomes me with open arms as summer begins and I start the baby steps towards a new body of work. It smells good in here too.
