FOREARMED

Drew These This Week

Adding a new project to my art arsenal, a series of ink drawings of surface anatomy. These are the first three. Each is 10x8” white paper drawn in ink. The project will include details of male and female models, perhaps 80 drawings or so, and I would will turn it into a picture book.

What I hope you get/experience from the drawings is seeing a manifestation of your mind. Our minds are interconnected with a network of activity—thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and energy. And when it is running smoothly it gives us such a great feeling of efficacy, confidence, and of benevolence. Each of these line marks are interconnected to the whole of the arm, but they are also part of the light, shadow, depth, form, and movement. They are all in sync. These drawings give you the immediate perceptual experience, seen in only a matter of seconds, of a huge network of integration like an encyclopedia of the mind. Amazing.
