This is a bit of cathartic writing. I find myself wondering around the city and my apartment, making lists and staring off into space. I need to feel like I'm doing something useful, like I'm making paintings for people to see, I really would like to working on a new book. I have all these little projects in mind but I think I'll refocus. I'm going to start working on my portfolio and send outs and proposals.
This is an older piece, from art school. It's part of the same series as the Huldre and the Dwarf pictures I posted in past weeks. It seems you can't avoid being introspective this time of year. I tried to avoid mulling over my life by drawing and reading right through the Holidays and into the new year, but like an insistent bear it was waiting for me at the bottom of the tree. I found myself trying to clarify my philosophy on life. Why do I like the things I do? Why do I do the things I do? Questions like that. This is what I came up with : I read to increase my appreciation of life. I draw because I see magic in ordinary places and want to share it.
Sometimes everything is rushing along and getting complicated and you want to step outside of things, pause and take stock.
Wow, this is much darker than your current illustrations. I'm a big fan of COLOR! Happy new year. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2008:)
ooh, that is such an interesting and sombre piece, I really like it...will the bear bite his dangling foot? I wouldn't sit like that with a bear in situ.
Uhm...your work is really good. I´m impressed. The style is so calm and strong! Really nice ^.^
Thanks everyone!
I REALLY like this one- it is so simple, but it's got a lot going on.
I asked myself the same stuff yesterday going through piles of older work...some of it I like a lot because there seems to be something really direct about it. I also wonder what's biographical in the stuff that I'm not even aware of consciencely...
