The Other Shoe Drops. It's Made of Cardboard. And It's A Welcome Change of Pace.

 The other thing I was doing this past winter was hunkering under a couple of blankets while I hot-glued fabric to cu out cardboard shapes.  You shall bear witness.

Here's the pile of things I worked on for the last 5 months.

Here's just a few random ones to give y'all a sense of what they're actually all about.  These are just set down on a primed canvas and photographed so I can test out different compositions/relationships with them.

A couple of the canvases after just one layer of primer.

So here is an example of testing different configurations/compositions/relationships.  I just am using two different pieces and seeing how changing the spacing and orientation of each piece can change the 'vibe' or interaction between them.

.This was just a quick exercise.  At this point, I have NO IDEA if these two pieces will ultimately end up on the same canvas.

A Winter Full of Sketching: Part XX

 Mmmmmmm, Part XX.  So good. 20 of these posts with 6 drawings per post seems a lot like 120 drawings (so far).  But, as promised, after this post I'm going to showcase some other endeavors as well.

Some close ups.

Next time we'll see something made from CARDBOARD!!!

A Winter Full of Sketching: Part XIX

 Stay strong kids.  We're almost to the really exciting cardboard portion of the show.  But before we get there, there's still a few more drawings to go...

One more post about drawings and then we'll explore a change of scenery for a while...

A Winter Full of Sketching: Part XVIII

 Roman numerals all the way up to 18!  I have an elementary school teacher who would be beaming that I used some of my fancy book learning...

Anyway, we've got some drawings to take a look at.  I submit, for your inspection, this page of doodles...

Until next time, keep it real kids.

A Winter Full of Sketching: Part XVII

 Just starting to make an appreciable dent in my sketches from this past winter...

Here we go!

More to come tomorrow.

A Winter Full of Sketching: Part XVI

    Another page out of one of my sketchbooks.  This past winter I had primarily two creative outlets: wrapping cardboard shapes with fabric and sketching ideas for things I'm going to paint this summer.  After a few more drawing posts, I will start to unleash posts regarding the cardboard shapes.  For now, y'all are going to have to deal with a few more posts showcasing drawings...

See?  That wasn't so bad...

A Winter Full of Sketching: Part XV

     April was a soft month according to the numbers, so management has determined that I need supervision while I sketch.  They said something about a "...double-secret probation...".

So here we go.

Happy May Day!
