With this piece, I’m dealing with motion and complementary colors, such as the red and the green. A certain degree of depth is expressed as well. The intent is whim, spontaneity, and loose, flowing organic structures. I’m evoking the spirit of nature to imitate me as I attempt to imitate nature.
Lots of media came together to experience this piece. I used brush, watercolor paint, pen ink, India ink, water, lacquer thinner, rubbing alcohol, plant shrubs, paper, oil pastel, and digital editing to make it all happen. The left leaning flow of the picture, overall, is what I felt most essentially characterized this image.
The hybridized illustration you see here is a portion of a drawing I made a few days ago called Vaporous X-Ray. I captured a photo of that drawing on my cell phone, and posted it to my Instagram account. I’ve been very lazy with regard to keeping up with my WordPress blog and my Facebook page because of the amount of time, mental labor, and effort it takes me to keep all of my profiles online up to date.
It takes a lot of time, energy, space, effort, labor, materials, supplies, and equipment to keep my productivity afloat. It’s not a matter of me not working on anything. In fact, I just went through a pile of drawings I’ve made in the last couple of years this evening, and a stack of sketchbooks completely full of ideas I record regularly. There’s no way I’ll ever quit making art.
My art will one day be the public’s, or in some private collection, or even yours. I ask you to help support me and my creative efforts to serve our world better through the communication of images and ideas. Like my page, comment, show your friends and family, and contact me by email to make a purchase of anything you like. Or even hit me up for a commission piece, like a mural, or a portrait or something.
