SketchCrazed – surreal, lurid, unzipped

SketchCrazed is an opportunity for me to share the very strange drawings I do, cloaked in this transparent attempt to give them a sense of purpose and intentionality. But you’re probably not fooled! The common thread is in the attempt to explore new relationships of form, contrast, and pattern, and to see where they take me.

Iseki – the lost world

In Japanese the word iseki means something like an ancient place. This drawing feels like that sort of place, with those shapes on the upper left that look like a school of fish (suggesting an underwater scene). It also feels like plants growing because of the plant cell-like patterning used in it. Perhaps it is a view into an ancient city, like Japan’s underwater city Yonaguni, thought to be at least 10,000 years old.
