punchme (why I need to spend time contemplating lakes and mountains)
ALT: abstractish crayon drawing of somebody looking angry and angsty. mouth wide open, maybe yelling. Eyes are red rimmed spirals. Possibly punching themself in the throat.
ALT: crayon and ink. Two red birds in flight. the background is a wall of big windows, like a conservatory or large office building. There is some foliage at the bottom, and an unexplained curved line of dots the same color as the birds. Not really a flight path, or maybe it is?
ALT: water soluble crayon and ink, in the colors of chicory and daylilies. It looks like windows in an apartment building, sort of. The middle window has some plants in it. There’s a big arched window on the left, that has little stars or sparkles in it, and another smaller one on the top right with what could be wrought iron fancywork.
ALT: crayon and watercolor, in soft blues and red/pinks. The drawing is vertically oriented, with something like water on the lower part, but the upper part seems to be a lake-and-hill landscape, oriented 90 degrees off. You could probably orient the page so that the landscape would settle, but that’s not the way I drew it.
ALT: crayon drawing, sort of abstract expressionist I guess, two people in conversation, but definitely looking a bit off balance. I did indeed make this one after attending a show, followed by some ridiculous conversation at a local bar.
ALT: abstract, crayon and ink. There is something that could be the eye of a cat or a snake near the middle, and several lines of big calligraphic imaginary writing swooping around. A lot of motion/emotion.
ALT: ink and crayon drawing. Some kind of being with arms upraised is stepping through a flamboyantly decorated arch, onto a field where five white rabbits sit and vaguely pay attention.
the Guardian, one more time. I’m posting the first two versions below the ALT text, as well as the original National Geographic photo, just to have them all in one place.
ALT: crayon drawing referencing that same photo of the elephant poacher guard leaning on a spear. It is pretty much completely abstracted in this version, with the gold robe, green and reddish ground, and a purple arc of sky. Below are the original photo reference, and the two previous drawing interpretations I’ve posted.
