untitled illustrations (2014) ink, graphite, and/or correction fluid on paper ~9x11
Although I haven't posted anything in while, I've been working on some illustrations and planning other dog tag projects over the last year and a half. The collection of drawings above were created while I was working at a local fountain pen company. While there, I made illustrations for a short time in order to promote the products they sold. A few of them have that feel as well as the company's watermark. Making these were a lot of fun and reminded me how much I enjoy building an image with a collection of little marks using a pencil, pen, syringe, Q-tip, brush, or whatever I can get my hands on. They're of James Gandolfini, Robin Williams, Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Car, a study of an Ann Gale painting, and Bill Mauldin. All but the Gandofini and Williams photos were taken by the very talented Sarah Mattozzi.
