I love cyan, magenta, yellow and black. This project explores using individual drawings as color layers. Each piece comprises four hand-made black and white drawings representing cyan, magenta, yellow, or black process colors. The layers create purples with magenta and cyan, greens with yellow and cyan, and reds with magenta and yellow when layered on… Continue reading I ❤️ CMYK

Collage, Photocopy, Ink
I’m enjoying making these new pieces. I’ve been going through many test photocopies while playing with distortions. Rather than using the clippings and mounting them to a board and connecting them, I layered patterns on the photocopier bed itself. Then, with the resulting copy, I joined the different designs with pen and ink. When working… Continue reading Collage, Photocopy, Ink
Collage from clippings
I started to take a different approach to making Coloring Book pages this weekend. I began with a stack of test distortions from pulling and twisting other drawings on a photocopier bed. I then chopped those tests into smaller components, not following any outlines. I then took a sample of them and put them on… Continue reading Collage from clippings
Inkscapes
I started working on a new series of drawings. Most are ink drawings with tightly packed lines. Creating these drawings is mesmerizing, working out from one point until the page is filled.

I tried a small drawing experiment tonight. I started with an image that could go into my Coloring Book collection, then took it to a copier and distorted it on the glass. I added a bit to the distorted drawing with each iteration and then distorted that one. The results got more chaotic when more… Continue reading Destroying a drawing

A few nights this week, I sat down to start drawing with something on in the background on Netflix or Disney+, and when I’d look up at the clock, it was 1 am or 2 am. They were mainly done with a Sharpie and a Pilot Precise… Continue reading A productive drawing week!
Late Night Sketches
Last night I posted my newest project to fxhash, “Late Night Sketches.” This project is part of an experiment combining hand-drawn “squiggles” and turning them into something unexpected. The assets used in this project were hand-drawn with markers, pens, brushes, and ink. I will sit down for several hours and draw pages of elements in… Continue reading Late Night Sketches
Getting back into it.
I am trying to get back into the habit of doing a bit drawing every night. Here’s a few of newer ones. I’d like to get one a day done again, collecting a bunch to make a coloring book like I made a few years ago.
