Some beginning drawings

So, like I did when I was in the lame duck period of Venice, before the residency, I've been brainstorming on ideas for the project in some drawings, I thought I'd post some up now, though right now I don't have much access to photoshop or imageready so the quality is a little low in terms of lighting.

Working this way usually helps me to frame some ideas too, to have to physically do things in a series- in this case, of the 2 inch borders, the text, the square space to work in. Getting the itch to work with markers recently, and trying to synthesize what I've been looking at. In some cases, like the band of colors in the bottom drawings, it is a direct rip-off of a friend's work- just working with it anyway to see what it can do...




A look at the same pile/collection thing, with a quote from robert musil about living for the moment versus being in it.




A breakdown of the abstract comic you gave me the prints of.




Um, yeah.











An installation idea? Seems like a way to work as yard art, too.




Thinking of working with planograms from that temp job I was doing.




Just a reminder to look into the portrait idea again.








A few works after I got a stash of markers- I kind of like the "humpin' beans" idea though I don't know why.
