Does anyone remember those little round Springbok puzzles from the early ’70’s maybe? with cheerful pop art and often odd beings and flowers? I think they permanently imprinted on my aesthetic sense.
ALT: decorative drawing in ink and crayon, some swirly lines surrounded by little flowers.
ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon drawing where a golden eel and a blue fish circle round each other warily. the fish’s tail is kicking up some sand, and there’s a plant that the eel is weaving around. the sand is purple, in case that matters to you.
ALT: crayon doodle of something that looks like a blue mouse wearing maybe a helmet and goggles, bearing a dainty flower in its mouth, and maybe sitting on a bongo board or something.
ALT: 12 small rectangular cards, each made from paper used to clean brushes, test colors, or take notes. Each has a large circle of gold and a smaller one of silver, and a couple bits of collaged tissue paper on it.
ALT: crayon, ink, acrylic. this was literally a memory of what I saw with eyes closed, the network of little veins. the colors aren’t as bright as I wanted, but it was dark shot through with red and orange, with bright blue-green in the between spaces.
ALT: crayon, ink and acrylic paint, abstract but full of numbers. and some moths, and dots. angular wide black lines weave through a thicket of numerals, mostly in shades of green. I had a long day, full of numbers.
ALT: watercolor and ink, abstract. another tangle, with primary color splotches ground, woven over with black and white ink lines in a rather tangled mess.
ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon, abstract. three blue marbles nestled in a tangle of black lines, a red ribbon, and gold and green shading. sort of an organic looking mess.
