hey g,
ReplyDeleteyour drawings have a nice flow. they make me think of the ocean and sea life. is this intuitive doodling or were you inspired by some images in particular?
When I received the nacre coasters, I thought it was thoughtful of the sender to make it as easy as possible to make art out of them! Yes, I was thinking about microscopic marine-like forms...nacre being from the sea and the shape looking like a petri dish...so I scuba-dived into that realm. Fun excuse to get high on Sharpie markers, too (it's weird that they claim to be non-toxic, but I hope they are).
ReplyDeleteThese are so lively!
ReplyDeletei'm glad to see these. i did a petri dish painting once, perhaps the ugliest thing i've made. now i can erase it from my head with something interesting.
