Cold and hot

It's been the weirdest winter. I guess it always feels that way. As my new usual, I haven't been posting much, but I have been making a few things in between the all the life, bikes, and work. Things are stirring for sure, things that I've never done before, new big projects, art and otherwise.
Some of these "face" drawings are kinda research for a bigger project referenced in the last post. That last pic is an illustration for a Book Zoo thing.

Party Faces

These drawings are for some future thing. Party faces. I think that one on the bottom right came out looking like John Baldassari. That guy rules.

Hot tubbin'

I recently hung out at a rad hot tub, and got stoked up on hot tubs and hut tub spaces. In the best case scenario, they embody everything I love about California. They are a place for hanging out naked in soothing water, and when you leave, you feel blissed out. I like the far-out redwood environments of a good hot tub too, like the ones that are open to the night sky, which remind me of the best kind of night spent on the north coast. Anyway, these are a few recent attempts at sketching out some fantasy tubs.






On a different note, I just got these drawings back from a little show in October. The show was set up so that the visual artists would respond to the work of young poets. At the opening the poets read their work. I don't read too much poetry, but this was a nice chance to challenge myself to make something with a fairly narrow and defined set of possibilities. I can't say exactly what the poem was about, but maybe it was about a monument.
