A New Day Today...A New Drawing!

The other day while I was sketching, I kept getting interrupted by more ideas or inspirations. The following drawing is one of the ideas that came to me. It is called "Uh Oh" and is done with pencil and a Pilot Precise Grip extra fine pen (nice pen, by the way).





The ground peels up and the sky disintegrates while a nervous rabbit looks on. I just drew it- not sure the meaning yet. One thing I do know- the rabbit does get away.

A New Day Today- The path of a sojourner...

There is a recent realization of a certain texture to the way I do things- a perceptive visual pattern to the things I make and what pleases me. For example, the way I draw portraits with pastel pencils have a certain smoothness (to me) about them. I don't know (yet) how else to describe it. The way I work at the store, or how I arrange my bookshelves, or what materials/mediums and art or music I enjoy- they all have a certain tactile quality - a texture, if you will. The concept of all this, itself has a texture- even as I try to bring it all into focus. It seems to be leading me further into the realm of sculpture- and I feel I must follow.

These next sketches, presented straight out of my sketchbook, are for a diorama (that is the best way I can describe this sculptural piece besides, well sculpture)- the working title is 'Sojourn Too' .

Here is the first sketch (sorry about the size and quality of computer images):

Here is the second sketch:

The idea of 'Sojourn Too', with all it's different elements, represents personal journey in a sometimes strange, unusual or weird lands- their strangeness seemingly fragile, with one possible entity's (my own) perception as a catalyst.

Next comes the decisions of what materials to use and how to apply them
