More arguments

This is one which I executed in paint in this abandoned painting -- a shitty effort:

Present (and future) supporting arguments..

A couple of sketches from some time back.

Getting some new pieces up and running..

It feels so good to have the house smelling of linseed oil again.. :)

Continuing to develop ideas for this new series..

Been developing ideas for a new series

Mostly this stuff is coming to me in visions and dreams...

Pustulence

Red wine drawing*, unfinished and finished, two different cameras:



Felt-tip pen on legal notepad, 152 x 101 mm

* As in drawn over several hours while consuming two bottles of red wine and doing other things too.

Lizzie's Progress in the newtown

Experiments with a black ground.. hoping to produce effects similar to block-print slash mezzotint. Probably unfinished (i.e. expect another version). One further question at this point.. who's Lizzie?

Looking for the meaning in configuration.. 3 plays 2, bunches.

The return of the PDA:

Fiddling about on a Monday night

So I was fiddling about with the new painting last night, and added a few little touches here and there:

While I was drawing the images which served as the basis for this painting, I was thinking about Swine Flu and weird undiscovered microbes and fungal spores and so on. When I was painting it the other night, though, I started remembering how when I was a kid I read some WWII war story or something which involved the torrid, insidious dangers of floating mines. I could clearly remember what I had imagined at the time that they looked like -- and that was something remarkably similar to my 'cluster' of 'microbes'. Of course, the real thing is more functional and less fantastic, but there you go.
