Fun with Transparencies

Fooling around with layering some of my looser ink doodles with the tight ink circles.  Still need to work out some technical and artistic kinks, but here's where I'm starting.

Some ink abstracts from 2010

Here's a newish piece that I've bee playing around with.  I've been trying to get loose and free gain, as I think that often my obsessive side takes over and removes a lot of the energy from my work.  It feels good.  No title on this one at the moment.  Naming things feels so official and frequently artificial, and I often resent doing it unless a name just floats into my head as I'm working.

Ink, graphite, charcoal

The following two pieces were made earlier this year in response to a friend's death.  Since I'm posting little ink works, I thought I'd share these as well.

Playing around

Sometimes, you just have to spill ink and scribble on things.

More to come in this line.
