I pushed this drawing to have additional values. It’s not restful like I had hoped.

But I love this blue and the fabric feeling is imortant in this as well as many of my drawings.

Thread is a theme and an important gathering of marks.

I’ve always loved blueprints.

This drawing comes from that visual place. I loved making this and it feels so good to look at now after I have made it.

The thinest lines make the blue vibrate.

This is where what I’m doing in my studio came back to my drawing-a-day project. I have been punching holes in some paper lately and I decided to try it in a digital drawing.

This drawing has a physical structure that is compact and singular.

Fuzzy forms spinning next to each other.
That’s all.

Open floating forms.
Now I can imagine them at poolside.
Using dots in layered patterns.

Silly.
Bright, energetic, and unexpected.

Crazy kinda weaving yes?
A few new tools I designed. I tested them in different configurations and this is what came of it.
Threads and patches of cross hatching.

There are many layers in this drawing and mark upon mark oblitered many of them.
That’s what makes the marks one can see so intrigueing.
There is a suggestion of those hidden marks and you imagine them.

Whiz, whiz, whiz

That’s the sound I heard when I made this drawing and I hear it each time I look at it again.
The drawing is the expression of those tin toys that you push a trigger and watch the sparks inside a color tinted piece of plastic or a metal spinning childs top.

Pastel colors?
Where did they come from? I think this happens from the nature of digital medium. An illuminated screens are so saturated that occassionally I overreact in my color choices.
The result here looks different in print than on the screen; a bit more dull.
Still there is something about the ordering of the marks that draws me to looking at this over and over again.
