Skid Row to Skywardfrom here I can see only sky pen | colored pencil | dictionary Started a new art project…kinda. My monkey loves to destroy everything, including my books. Many of my possessions bare the mark of her destructive art talents. I try to keep them hidden in milk crates or in high up places but she still manages to find them. So I figured why not do the same. So I took my little red dictionary and got to work. This page is all I’ve done so far and I would like to keep going and see how many pages I can I can fill up with my sketchy drawings. After I started working on this I realized this was not the first time I’ve done something like this. Many years ago, back in the reckless days of my youth, I did something similar. I was was in a hotel room in Texas tripping out and had the brilliant idea that I was gonna take the hotel room bible and fill it with art and it would be called ‘Art Bible.’ Needless to say despite my best efforts I was unable to fill every page with my art that night. I took the bible with me and left a note to the hotel staff saying that I was sorry for stealing their bible but it had to be done because that bible was meant to be an ‘Art Bible.’ I knew they would understand. I had every good intention of finishing what I started but I have no idea what happened to that bible. Many of my designs for the things I sell online also have this theme. I like to take vintage images from books and lay them over blocks of text. This is all done digitally and with vintage royalty free images. So this here is a bit different. I like the concept of this first drawing. The color, form and shading came out better then I expected…Although the scan did not do the shading much justice. I’m unhappy with with my line drawing skills here. I wish I had done a better job outlining the tree. I also wish it didn’t come out slightly sideways. Of course if this was an oil painting it would have come out perfect…but who has time for that ancient art form. While I was flipping though my dictionary looking for a page to begin with this page jumped right out at me. I like the words. I like the words a lot. Well there it is… I guess I haven’t got much more to say about this. Forgive me if I’m a bit long winded when speaking about my art. It just something I picked up while studying art in college where speaking endlessly about such things is a requirement and never an option. Feel free to tell me what you think. Constructive criticism is welcome. This will available to buy soon in my Zazzle shop. “Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.” ~ Pablo Picasso
