New Year, New Work...

Today I went with my Dad to my new studio and did some work for the first time there. Here are a few photos from the set. I have a lot more new drawings to work with, so hopefully I will have a number of new images this week.

Transfusion

Another piece for the timeline project that I am working on. graphite, watercolor on digital print.

Tiger Nightmares

For some reason I have reoccurring dreams that have tigers in them. They are usually chasing me or just sitting in my home in a threatening way. I had a pretty juicy one last night, so while it was fresh on my mind I did a little work this morning. I think the one above is my favorite of the group.

This photo is just to show my low tech process. I like the way it connects the real with the drawn line of the paper cut outs. I am focusing on pink in my new work.

Sea Serpents

Another drawing that I completed using the same photo as Seas to Forest as the basis of the piece. This drawing is a bit more haunting then the previous and more indicative of what I am really try to illustrate.

Seas to Forests

A drawing I completed today on a photographs of my small sets. I used watercolor and graphite on the digital print. I like the transparency and luminosity that these materials give the piece.

More experiments

Today I worked in the basement with my lights and little drawings. I am pleased with the how rich the color is in these few pieces.

I took a few photos with the sheep. I wasn't planning on using him, but it seemed right. The sheep reminds me of nursery tales I sing to my daughter over and over.

Ship drawings begin

This weekend I have taken a break from my drawing project and began work on the petite dioramas. These images are created using small 2D drawings that I set up like a theater and then photograph. I used some colored gels with my lighting in order to introduce color and mood. I am going to some experimental drawing onto these prints. Part of me enjoys the simplicity of the images, but I feel driven to work them more.

The imagery is referencing my hallucinations from when I was in a coma. These are just the beginning, but I hope that they end up somewhere exciting.
