#592, 4:11 PM. This was an iPad digital drawing using my technique of visual fragments in a narrative. My idea was to simply revisit older photos and drawings and orchestrate them to make an alternative narrative. These “cannibalized” fragments were from earlier blog posts.
#590, 7:54 PM. This is a visual mash up from several reference points. I was working from images on a Chinese package design, a Japanese comic book, and a Japanese monster movie. For me, the experience of drawing this was like a conductor orchestrating an ensemble of different events in order to make a cohesive whole. In the foreground, I’ve added an orange rickshaw. By the way, I’ve never been on a rickshaw and my guess is that I would feel uncomfortable having someone pull me around at his or her expense.
#587, 8:43 AM. I’m calling this a hybrid because it’s a union of two separate observational drawings done on my iPad in two cities, Glendale and Silver Lake that are both in Southern California. If you get a chance, Silver Lake has a great pizza joint called Tomato Pie just off of Hyperion Avenue .
Cannibalized Text.
Together Looks Good. Two images for the price of one.
Man in Armour. Going on a search spree for drawing combinations.
Mutant Combo Offspring or Drawn From the Old and New. This is an image embedded within an image. The similar characteristics in the shapes from the two drawings allowed the blending and a sort of subliminal message.
Line, Grid, Pattern, and Girl.
Cloud Atlas Lines. The Mitchell book is now a Wachowski movie.
Zeitgeist Lines. Zeitgeist meaning “the spirit of the time”.
