Triangle Cube Ink Painting

I sharpened the end of my watercolor brush to a point so I can drop just a little ink into one corner of each wetted triangle area. The alignment of the parts is imperfect because I didn't sketch anything out at first, I just went at it with a brush- one end for applying water, the other for dropping ink. I started out thinking of a different form entirely but it's exciting for me when my initial idea changes as a piece grows.

Four drawings I made at work

I made these four sketches in the past few weeks. I've been saving drawings like these (made on the back of 'spoilage report' sheets from my optical lab job) for over four years and I have about 2000 of them. Not all of them are good, a lot are just grocery lists or random ideas.

I'm compelled to record my thoughts during the spare moments between verifying eyeglass prescriptions.
