Viking on a hover pad

Flower Medal with Pollen

Today's sketch.

Dwellings On The Edge and Multi-faceted Vortices

Both are drawings I did at work today.

Colony on the edge of a biscuit

I made this drawing at work today, it's 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

Amusement Park Planet

Another "bitmap" drawing

One of the rules for making these is that squares and rectangles can only touch at the corners.

second drawing today

I have so much fun designing these as I go, using a calligraphy pen.

New drawings based on the square, instead of the triangle

Last Wednesday I participated in Draw Your Face Off #2 at Space Gallery. I sat at a table, drew whatever came to mind for three hours. Each time I finished a drawing I walked up and clipped it to the wall, and then people could just take it off the wall and buy it for 20 dollars. I did this again on Friday the same week because I had a lot of fun the first time. I made 11 drawings total and at least 8 have sold so far and I have no record of any of them.

These drawings here on this blog post were made just after DYFO2. I feel like the live drawing event pushed me into new territory. Not very far forward, maybe even a step back into 8 bit video game land, or into two bit land, a world of black and white, (or one thing and another thing.) I've been using black and white for a while but now it's really real.

...even if brown is the new white.
I have no idea where this is going but it's definitely going.

Draw Your Face Off 2, Space Gallery, June 1 & 3

These are some sketches in preparation for the second Draw Your Face Off event at Space Gallery. I'm not sure if I'll make drawings like this, but it'd be nice to do something quick and new for me.

Also, I think using little squares is a natural progression from using little triangles.
I like how much these look like early computer graphics and video games, also like Conway's Game of Life, which is always in the back of my mind.
I use the width of the marker as the smallest unit of measurement, and build from there.
