Moving into a direction with more and more layers. This is my process when I work with pastels or sometimes colored pencils. It's harder to achieve these layers with inks.

This is a combination of the two techniques. In the digital I can make tools that are like pens and have ink effects but not encounter the difficulties of trying to achieve this on paper.

Thank you iPhone.

I was without direction when I made this drawing. Scribbles with a bit of a pattern. Using the elipse by duplicating. The same motion large and small.

Some how night was in my mind. It crept out in this drawing.

The project continues. This is another adventure with elliptical shapes. I like using them — a lot.  I'm going to follow that desire the next few drawings and see which way they go. At least I'm going to try.

Working with some circles and simple lines. Quick again. Not thinking. A little bit like using a Sharpie.

Thinking about the deepest of spring on the edge of summer. Quick marks not too much color.

Squiggle. Wiggle. That's what it looks like to me. That's how it felt when I drew it.

I want to make some modular drawings —ones that I can assemble into larger pieces. This past week I spent some time thinking and testing how I would accomplish that goal.

The drawings that I have been experimenting with are on synthetic paper that is translucent. They are related to the sounding series. My marks test the boundaries of the sheet of paper and the number of marks that can be made using one fill of the pen or drawing implement.

I have finally gotten to the drawings I made in April.  This is very April don't you think? A little Japanese feeling yes?

Orange with blips.
Modern, simple, like a Jetson's artifact. A quick, very quick drawing.

Joyful.
