This is a drawing (conte/watercolor) I did with my drawing 2 students. We start with an automatic drawing technique similar to those done by the early 20th-century Surrealists and Dadaists. We then use that drawing as a basis for an ancient Mayan sculpture rendering using both reductive and additive drawing techniques. This is a bat god sculpture of the Zapotec period.
SKETCHBOOK DRAWING
This was a sketch I did in Florence Italy. It’s a composite drawing. I rendered the architecture in pen and ink then drew the angel sculpture over it using colored pencil. I also collaged into the sketch and used solvent transfer as well.
The Baker Institute
This is a detail (watercolor) from my upcoming, 200-page graphic nonfiction What Follows Is True: Crescent Hotel. The Baker Institute in Muscatine, Iowa (a former skating rink) shut its doors in 1938 and patients were transferred to the Baker Hospital (Crescent Hotel) in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
The book will be printed soon and will be available this Spring. Click HERE to preorder the book.
