about 365 drawing a day

So, I'm thinking at the end of the year I'll have a party at my studio or somewhere and sell all of these drawings I've been working on. They are digital so they'll be made as inkjet prints. That will keep the price low. I'll use standard frame sizes.

I'm thinking about whether I will only print one; making it an original or just make unlimited prints by request.

I'm also thinking about making a book of some sorts. Everything at the end is in flux. I'm just concerned about making the drawings.

The interface isn't designed to make landscape/horizontal drawings. Something sorta crazy happens when I try draw lanscape images. I will persist but the tools are all pointed the other way and it makes switching to make different marks difficult.

You would think they could use the accelerometer to switch directions

This is the first effort that I've really made.

It's fun but I need to get use to operating in this direction.

Scribbling thin scratchy lines are wonderful. I can hear the sounds even on the iPhone.

Actually that's the thing I really miss on the iPhone. The texture of the paper and the sound of a drawing implement being drawn across a surface. Here's another from the series of tools and palette I made.

Back to another kind of thinking.

Working with the same palette that I used in my winter twins series that I completed last year around this time.  The recent snow brought me back to my minimalist tendencies. It's wonderful to think about all that stuff just under the surface that a crust of translucent frozen snow obscures. Some little bits break the surface and indicate their full form.

I guess the last few days have built up to a more is more drawing.

I enjoyed making the many layers of this image. Using more of the technique that i use in my non digital drawings — many layers using each to obliterate or obscure the layer below. Letting marks peek out between the spaces.

Another set of brushes and a refinement of the color palette.

I used some new patterns to create a new marks from familiar gestures.

I found these marks to be different than I had anticipated. They created different patterns with each small change. This was really good fun and didn't happen quite as fast as the final drawing appears.
