I’m enjoying exploring a more cerebral area, at the moment. Representing more abstract concepts, picturing how thoughts work…and might look. This one, on the topic of being overloaded by choices, as we all our these days. Too much of a good thing?
A sampling of things to come….
A recent image that is part of my ‘family’ of fantastical, mythic creatures. I’m currently working on things that are a departure from this (more of that to come, in time). In the meantime, hope you enjoy this cat-like object.
This piece will hang in show at a cafe in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and then be auctioned to raise money for an elementary school there. I was happy to be asked to participate by Paul English, editor of the newspaper New York Spirit.
…and more recent paint/collage work, done for myself, not assignment. Actually, you can see this as work in progress on my drawing table down below (several posts down).
Been doing quite a bit of painting, lately….
Some recent images. My usual process of abstract experiments, which merge into more representational images. Experimenting with red…and a complimentary green, of a kind of nauseous shade that works well, I think.
Illustration that appears in the new issue of PlanSponsor (AD: SooJin Buzelli). The concept was “more than meets the eye”, a dense financial topic. At left, a few sketches that preceeded the final art. Considered a fox, and several other approaches before landing on the image at right.
CD package for the Burlinson | Whitten Trio, “Running Through Museums” recently released and available on iTunes. In an earlier post (if you scroll down below) you’ll see some out takes, and the process of how the art arrived at this, it’s final state.
How things take shape in my studio. Shreds and layers…work in progress that will likely turn into something else before it’s finished. I experiment with textures, do a lot of excavating, and relying on unplanned “mistakes”. Let’s see what comes of it, I don’t know yet, either.
