Faces. What’s underneath a face — where the structure is, where the line has to go to find it.
Schiele does it in almost no marks at all. Lautrec the same. Rodin’s late drawings barely touch the page and still get the whole figure.
Vallotton divided things into flat black and flat white, and the white is as deliberate as the black.
Hopper is painting the light, really. Caravaggio is painting what the dark does to a face. O’Keeffe found the architecture inside a flower.
Munch’s sick room. Melancholy. The Dance of Life.
I have an atelier where certain originals are available — not shown here, not online. Get in touch if you’re interested.
Commissions are personal. Portraits from life, preferably — or from photograph. I’m interested in exploring murals. The drawing is already about the space it will live in — I use whitespace as medium. Your space, what it holds, the artists and ideas on this blog: that’s where it starts. Write to me.
I scan and post-process my drawings so that anyone who wants to live with the work can. Not everyone can get an original, and I enjoy the scanning and processing work anyway. Prints on Etsy and Redbubble.
