Sketchbook Pages
Why can't my finishes look as cool as my sketches? These were drawn as I brainstormed for the cartoon in the post below. Where does the spontaneity go when I get out the good paper?

Post a Comment*This is the Great Mystery of the Universe to which there's no answer, at least as far as I can tell. It probably evaporates into a greenhouse gas and threatens the polar ice cap.
The enegy of the planning stages vs. the refinement of the finished work -- that's the great balancing act isn't it?
When my stuff looks dull I think of Sorel and say,"Why not keep the gestural line intact?" But then again, refinement seems inevitable.
And it's satifying to do.
I wonder if Mike Luckovch does his finished product on top of an original sketch? There is an energy in his work that feels uninterrupted.
Hey Jim!!!
See the pics of the Smart Car? It's pretty much a 12K Golf Cart.
This may be something, maybe nothing.. What would the smart car look like with a huge trailer on it with Michigan plates rolling down 75?
M.E. Cohen and Rex Rabin seem to have a pretty good lock on reproducing their sketch quality. But then I look at someone like Ann Telnaes and I'm just floored by the refinement.
