More abstract 3×5 Sharpie drawings
Abstract Sharpie drawings on 3×5 cards in 5 minutes
Index cards are the best. You can use them for organizing your life, paper prototyping, and even fixing Aeron chairs.
I’m using them as a stopgap until I buy an easel and canvases:
Which do you prefer? Why?
If you do your own 3×5 drawing (doesn’t have to be abstract) and email it to me I’ll put [...]
How I became a sculptor
Remember when I talked about a huge artistic breakthrough that dwarfed everything else I did in March?
Here it is:
In true blocked artist style I had been putting the sculpting off even though I had an excellent guide to DIY toy sculpting sitting on my desk.
I’d tell myself: “I’ll just do a few more sketches then [...]

Today they announced a new greeting card service. Gotta love the serendipitous magic of the internet:
All photos from my gallery are now available as greeting cards starting at $3.99 US, so buy early and buy often.

To test ImageKind I ordered one of my prints on glossy photo paper and the quality was outstanding. There are plenty of options for size, paper, matting, framing, [...]
Another “right brain” drawing: Picasso’s Stravinsky
It turns out that the whole right/left brain thing is likely not true. The good news is the exercises from Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain are still valid. It doesn’t matter where things happen in the brain, what’s important is that you turn off all the impatient symbolic, verbal, and habitual parts [...]
Murakami at MOCA
Be sure to see Murakami at the Geffen MOCA before it closes on February 11th. Here’s a Flickr set, though the pictures don’t do the work justice and they don’t show the really impressive large scale stuff. (Side note: You know what would be sweet? A 40 foot tall Veritech sculpture.)
I hate it when photography [...]
