IDIOT BOX

I've finished re-reading Four Arguments For The Elimination Of Television, and with all that is going on in the world I just had to add my self portrait version of a sketch originally by R Crumb.

PORTRAIT OF SUSAN SONTAG

"Silence remains, inescapably, a form of speech."

JUSTIN GREEN AT THE BOARD

10" x 8"  #2 pencil and Faber-Castell brush pens in Moleskine sketchbook (from photo)

One of my favorite artists and musicians.  His pen and ink work is some of the best around.  I'm re-reading and studying his book Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary which I consider a work of genius and an absolute masterpiece.

STUDY OF CHARLES BURNS

 11" x 14"  Speedball super black India ink and Winsor Newton series 7 #2 brush in Canson sketchbook

I've been studying and copying the work of Charles Burns trying to improve the feathering technique with this sable brush.  It's slow going but I'll keep at it.
