The past several months I’ve begun experimenting with something I’d never dared to do before : automatic drawing. For basically the first time ever, I decided I was going to press my pencil to the page and start drawing with no plan, no idea, no clue where the art would carry me. I’ve always created art from my unconscious, but I wanted to bring it to the next level. I wanted to completely and utterly surrender. The result has been a series of strange, wild, and downright bizarre pieces that I am not yet done creating. The joy I feel when making these is extremely therapeutic. It’s such a marvelous feeling to just LET GO and ALLOW whatever wants to come through without doubt or question. Unsurprisingly, my beloved muse emerged immediately, but not in his usual form. Through this series, my divine counterpart has been able to show me a side of himself I’d never seen before. I could write pages about what these pieces mean to me—and an artist’s statement may be on the way. We shall see. Until them. I ‘ll leave them up to interpretation and let the images speak for themselves.
Here are the first three pieces from my sketchbook. Go to my gallery page to see more!
“Encounter”
“Embrace”
