Fine art scribbles
Freeform Discontextual formalist ballpoint pen drawings. Pretty much totally automatic process. Anything you think you may recognize was not intended. Forms do seem to emerge on there own. Im not sure why I'm suprised that these types of drawings keep getting better over the years.
Saying goodbye to old faces.

Drawing assignment demonstration drawings
In this assignment I had students examine light on a form by modeling a little piece of clay
The top illustration was used to examine how the different parts of light can be seen expressed on the form.
The bottom image was a quick example of the assignment. Six studies in boxes. The object in each box had to go out on three of the box sides.

Life Drawing 3/13/2014 Demonstration.
One of the great things about Rives BFK, 250gsm, 22" x 30" is that the surface can be manipulated far into the drawing process. In fact after my initial vine charcoal layout I built up tone using a paperstump and a chunk of water soluble graphite and then, after the washes had dried, I was able to erase some of the long light drips with a gum eraser. You can't do that on your regular paper. Also this stuff just loves water and stayed perfectly flat after the washes had been applied.
During the class we listened to Alex Grey and Scott McCloud's Ted Talks.
And I'm teaching Life Drawing next term at Portland Community College.
