I thought I share one of my most recent Kmart creations....

Kmart made-up map store layout. January 2014.
Original drawings by Adolf Hitler. Clockwise from top-left corner: Dopey, Doc, Pinocchio and Bashful. These drawings are all signed ´A.H.´ and date from about 1940. The main theory explaining the very existence of these drawings is that Hitler, himself a fan of early Disney movies (he even purchased and showed Walt Disney's Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs in private numerous times) and trained painter made them to show his skills, possibly to Eva Braun. The drawings are the property of William Hakvaag, the curator of the Lofoten War Museum in Svolvær, North-Norway and exposed there.
Part of my May drawing project.

So here's my drawing lined up on the horizontal and vertical reference lines. Its a pencil sketch with wide, somewhat fuzzy outlines. I used the rudder-hinge as a vertical datum and the airframe / spinner gap as the second vertical datum. The bottom of the fuselage and the top of the canopy are my horizontal datums.
There are countless errors in my original drawing but a common element that stands out, even after the wing in my drawing has been moved forward, (see leading edge fairing) is that pretty much everything is too far aft, because I made the engine too long and the bay directly behind it too long. I've started to draw-in the canopy and windscreen using hard lines here, but its still too far aft.
You can also see the defect in using .jpg images - the reference lines flare into fuzzy, shapes, rather than crisp lines of pixels. Lesson learned. You can also see that I've got too many vertical lines, in red, AND besides getting rid of those that serve no good purpose, I need to use more than one color for vertical lines. After some experimentation, I found four colors that did the job: Red, orange (tangerine), bright green (spring), magenta, which you can see in the previous photo.

My pencil drawing for Removal Company brochure cover. This is from an offset-litho' print and the half tone screen is evident in this image. c1980
A small urge to draw a Taiora sketch. Sadly I don't feel comfortable with TaichixSora any longer so he feels a bit uncomfy too. ^^;;; I still need to practice bodies and stuff, but some random stuff I've been working on. ^__^;

This is a large drawing of Elliott from the classic 1977 Walt Disney Feature Film "Pete's Dragon." This film mixed lave action with animation.

I hardly ever draw architecture or landscapes so these aren't exciting, but it was good to challenge myself
A drawing I did from a sketch from a sketchbook that I brought to Italy last summer. This is a drawing that I did for Montserrat's annual art-auction-fundraiser thing in May. The buildings in Italy are better than the buildings in America. The drawing is 30 inches long and 22 inches tall and when I was carrying the glass sheet for the frame home from the glass store I almost tripped and fell on the ice seven times.
you robbed your drawing style from someone else - that stuff you're doing isn't original or unique its just a subconscious appropriation, an amalgamation of stuff you looked at that someone else did already and your imagination is just regurgitating what you saw somewhere before.
plagiaristic mark making in progress someone call the originality police - this person just drew a butterfly using similar visual building blocks to someone who is or has been alive in human history.
is uniqueness an illusion the ego creates? - why does"personal style" seem less important to eastern cultures? - see anime what about children's drawings, naive art, cave painting and the great collective and recognizable art styles of ancient civilizations?
It was recently put to me that I draw in the style of someone else - that my work is a kind of copy - this was most probably an attempt to shake my confidence and make me feel sad about my creations..LOL what fun!
It has however sparked numerous conversations on twitter and in the real world and I would like to extend my deepest heartfelt thanks to those of you who continue to support my art.
I'm not against copying, I think mark making will inevitably become an individual expression even if the drawer is consciously trying to replicate a pre existing method/formula.
a while back I discovered someone had blatantly ripped off a poster I'd done to such a degree it was just funny - I wasn't mad or upset I was just amazed. I'm not a big copyright enforcer activist or anything and I realize it's all a big kind of boiling pot.
If you like my work and the things I like we may end up drawing something in a similar fashion and thats ok - if you want to draw one of my characters please feel free to do so - it would be nice of you to credit me but not essential to my ego.
all are welcome here :-)
