119 & VARIATIONS

MACRODONS

Here is the last of the "twelve sketches" I started several days ago.
And here are a few of the changes it went through:
neck/head/antennae variations.

117-118 part I

MACRODONS

I am beat.

This is all I was able to manage tonite (in addition to MACRODONS 115+116).

These lumpy black shapes are pleasing in a way, but I am planning a reductive drawing this time -drawing with white paint instead of black as I typically do.
(similar to what I did for # 080, and sort of like # 086 also).

Also, these MACRODON drawings come from the figures/toys/sculptures I've made: www.macrodons.com

115-116 & VARIATIONS

MACRODONS

Again, I skipped a few days, but not for lack of making MACRODONS, just not illustrations though (more on that in a future blog post). So here is another pair of MACRODONS along with a few variations they went through, due to my indecisiveness. The initial sketches for these illustrations can be seen here. As can be seen, I like to leave the rough pencil markings as a sort of indication of where the drawing is going, and how it informs each stage in the process. The MACRODON on the right has a sort-of-horse-like quality to it on and off again, something a little different for a MACRODON...

MACRODONS @ AQUA ART MIAMI



MACRODONS

Last weekend Miami hosted the sixth installment of Art Basel Miami Beach -along with all the accompanying satellite art fairs that have sprung up around it. This year The Public Trust exhibited at the Aqua Hotel in South Beach, near the main fair. As can be seen above, a small group of MACRODONS were present for this weekend of art excess, among the work of other Public Trust artists including Steven Hopwood-Lewis, Brent Ozaeta, and Evan Hecox.

MACRODONS

I skipped over a few of the sketches I had, because I had this new idea: MACRODON with an antennae/horn.

Here I drew the 3-"headed" MACRODON (top), and messed around with it in Photoshop to see it with less "heads"
