Innoc

--
so the frenetic pace of my drawing has slowed. i hope this is good for its longevity. lately i've mostly been drawing in an 11x14" [28x36cm] sketchbook, 1-3 drawings a day. the sketchbook is too big to fit in my scanner, so i'll snap the pages to post.

i dunno if i'm going to write a novel in November, now. this visual art project seems to be, uhhhn, writing itself? unveiling itself? i cannot remember the last time i felt so compelled to create something every day, seriously. anyway, i'm not sure whether i want to write a novel in November _too_, or whether i just want to give most-to-all of my creative energy to visual art right now. hmmmm...

in the drawing above, i drew lines with fountain pen for the first time. the filled-in black is also fountain pen calligraphy ink, same as the rest of the black in the drawing, and the pink is some kind of special ink that is for technical pens and airbrushing, but _not fountain pens_. i tried using it in a fountain pen and, yeah, it did not work. so, lacking technical pens and lacking+much-disliking airbrushing, i dropped some of the pink ink onto this drawing using an eyedropper. i think the ink is made by some dude named Dr Martin, presumably not the same Dr Martin of the popular English boots. the particular color is called 'Sunset Pink'.

i believe Innoc is what you call a 'compromised work'. yeah... i'm just so startled by drawing; i have no trouble exhibiting drawn works of mine that i find imperfect/daft/whatever. I Am Grateful.

drawing Innoc i thought: what could be more terrifying than totally nonsense graduations on a syringe? that's more or less what i was thinking about while i was drawing it. i had a vague desire, also, to make it look like an illustration from another era, but i don't think that comes across in the finished drawing.
