Drawing Contemporaries, curated by Eyebeam senior fellow Michael Mandiberg, is an exhibition of work on paper made by a peer group of new media artists who all create drawings, both as a primary object and as an experimental process. The exhibition includes work from Darren Kraft, Steve Lambert & Julia Schwadron, Michael Mandiberg, Marisa Olson, and Lee Walton. For many of the artists, the use of computers and algorithms are the focus in their work. While a number of the artists are Eyebeam affiliated, all are contemporaries whose influences upon each other can be traced in this exhibition. Drawing Contemporaries will remain on exhibit through June 9, 2009.
Darren Kraft uses powdered graphite to photorealistically reproduce icons and logos associated with consumer and political culture; Eyebeam senior fellow Steve Lambert and Julia Schwadron write personal and poetic messages of hope which they leave taped up in public places; Michael Mandiberg uses the laser cutter to etch and carve works on paper that incorporate text, history and design; Marisa Olson performs Google image searches for obsolete technologies, and traces their contours directly off her laptop screen with a mechanical pencil; and Lee Walton creates elaborate indexes of possible graphic marks which are algorithmically used to document events as they occur. His subjects range from from pedestrian traffic to sports games.
Drawing Contemporaries was on view through June 9, 2009
Our very first zentangles! We may have invented a new aspect too - bonding over a dual zentangle.
Bella (age 7) and I decided to do our first zentangles together, on the same piece of paper at the same time. We drew the string for each other, and then worked side by side.
It was such a nice experience, I'm going to talk Mr OodleArdle into doing one with me soon - ZenDateTangle :-)
Thank you Jo for the inspiration.

Today’s sketch: Michael Jackson
I was sketching today while having lunch (and tons of coffee), and I decided to draw Michael Jackson in his final days. I was inspired by a fellow artist’s painting of MJ, and decided to do a basic sketch before a taking on a full-blown painting. My server, and fellow patrons of the restaurant, where entertained by it all, I’m happy to say.
I wanted to capture the real Michael Jackson, the sick and truthful portrait of a desperately lonely and distressed man in his final days, and not the glittering, smiling superstar of iconic status in dance-like façade.
This is why I drew the older Jackson—captured in a natural moment, and not posed; one that is near caricature but more straight-portrait—and one where we see him with his eye-wear.
It is a more truthful portrait.
Let me know if I should take this beyond a basic sketch to a full-blown painting. :}
