In progress of play

A much needed update!

So this new piece I'm working on is helping me hash out my issues with painting. I picked up this canvass with the intention of making something finished. To make a long story short, I've come to the conclusion that I just need to paint, and stop thinking so hard and just paint. As fellow artist can agree with me here that when you feel like you have worked your way into a corner, it can be suffocating. This is my breath of fresh air. Embrace the error, in fact find it and use it.

Forgot to post these... woops

So last X-mass i made a bunch of cards for friends and family. Here they are, some process shots as well.

Matchbook drawing

Bleeded drawings

Story boards

So my friend Gino called me up the other day with a long message about this movie film. Something about sketches and storyboards. I was excited to finally get some new work, its been a while. The following images are those story boards/ concept sketches of a few scenes. Working from some location photos, I worked in some characters filling the action of the scene. Then pulled them into photoshop for a little gray scale painting and some texture for some tactility. Supposedly the director liked them. Hopefully a project in the future? well see...

New Work

So I've been wanting to do something like this in a while. When I'm making a drawing in ink I have found myself testing brush strokes on separate pieces of paper as to not disturb the contents of the drawing. These new works are about what happens outside that controlled space, or at least that space where I have specific intentions for the line. Here i have been thinking less about how much line resembles, describes a contour, or falls into perspective but line in it's absolute uncertainty. I can't help but to think of zen meditation while making these drawings, but I'm shaking so much I feel like I'm in the middle of a mosh pit. I'm taking small steps but have big ideas for this in the future. As they progress you'll see what I mean. For now they are the bastard son of a good drawing. What happens when you have no money in your bank account, your now a possibility.

Pathos

Words to consider:


Pathos: Appealing to the audiences EMOTIONS.

Zeitgeist: describes the intellectual, cultural, ethical and political climate, ambiance and morals of an era or also a trend.
