I decided to scan in a bunch of crap today from things piled up in the studio. Some are recent, some are not. For images that have pretty fine linework or other detail, I’ll just post a thumbnail linked to the larger image.
The above sketch is something unusual, since I rarely make sketches before painting — preferring instead to just jump right into an image. I was working out goldfish fin placement for maximum wretchedness. It became this painting:
The quote is from Kant; the equation is a non-homogeneous Poisson process. And yes, the goldfish has no eyes. Don’t ask — I’m not going to tell you.
This one is a doodle of Odin, done in a bar back in the days when I was actually left alone enough to brood and get a little work done here and there.
And no, I have no idea why WordPress is hyperlinking all the text that follows each image-linked thumbnail. Maybe I’ll fix it later, but right now I can’t be bothered, so you’ll just hafta deal with it. [And yes, I'm putting things in blockquotes on purpose just because it helps to counteract the shittiness of having orange text.]
This is a somewhat stylized owl. The actual image is prolly about the size of an index card, if not smaller. The scanner did a shitty scan of it, but meh.
This is a study of one of the vertebrae of a cow. It’s obviously old, since I can’t really do fine line work like that anymore. The yellow is a Sennelier ink called Senegal yellow.
Okay, so I stuck a link in for Sennelier, thinking that would completely fry WordPress’ little cracked out, over-linking, orange-text-making self, and it seems to have UNoranged things. This is great, except I’m at the end of this craptastic post. I’m still hunting for the right gallery plug-in for the site… since this is obviously not the best way to go about presenting images.
Trash day, indeed. Gah!
