Some drawings

How can these be real?

Here are two stills from some video I shot at the New York Aquarium on Friday afternoon. Though I've been to Coney Island many, many times, I'd never gone to the Aquarium before. Small though it may be, it was a delightful place to visit (not least because of the great blubbering walruses which we… Continue reading How can these be real?

Kingly tests…

King test sketches... OH! I forgot– I haven't yet made manifest the plan. Well, the plan is a Cabinet Card Portrait-inspired deck of cards. Yep. So it begins...

Sketch for a new project

I've been working on a new idea for a project that will (with some perseverance) culminate in a deck of playing cards. Won't say anything more at this time, but here is an initial conceptual sketch. Many more to do, to get at it properly, get the right feel and scale of things. Stay tuned… Continue reading Sketch for a new project

While we were there, the DIGIT expo was going on at the Arts Alliance gallery in Narrowsburg, including the "Quick & Gritty Video Slam"– a project whose requirements involved shooting footage in the town between Friday and… Continue reading DVAA Digital Media Expo

Polyester Plate lithography

Tiny prints of a Viking Funeral; image area 1.75" square; embossed, bordered area about 2.125" square Thursday was day one of testing out printmaking without a press, and without toxic chemicals (the latter a bonus  for the artist and the environment). The last few supplies arrived Wednesday afternoon, so Kim and I embarked on some… Continue reading Polyester Plate lithography

The Sketchbook Project
