On further urging of The Queen, my 1st experiments with ink & chopstick. I now have much more appreciation for her beautiful darks .... I think my chopstick needs to be broken in!
Ink smooshing is a really fun and easy technique and was a great way to create a background for these cute dolphins from the @ClearlyBesotted new Make A Splash set. 🐬

Number 2 is more in an Oriental style, following the techniques of the great contemporary artist, Gao Xingjian, whom I admire greatly.

In this image of my friend John speeding towards me on a bicycle I was interested (when–many years after taking the photograph–I was thinking about making it into an ink painting) in the image’s compelling sense of mystery, action and potential danger. While working on the ink painting I was thinking of Turner's painting Rain, Steam, and Speed and the futuristic (zooming into the future) implications of the image. I'm not sure how much I was aware of this at the time I made the drawing, but there is also a meaningfulness in making that complicates the image: the initial spontaneous and instantaneous snapshot of a figure blurred in motion then replicated with a labor intensive, meditative act of making the painting. This was a very different process than traditional Korean ink painting, but in some respect similarly meditative.

Spent a couple of days at art fairs last weekend, and drew like a maniac. More drawings than you can shake a stick at, and some late night rambling, here;

TW: Depression and sadness
This photo is a reminder of all of the times I've cried and purged my feelings and grudges I've held on to from my heart. I've dealt with depression for as long as I can remember, and so I've struggled with finding my identity apart from this mental illness. It's been many years since I've known peace, but recently I've been on the road to a mental health recovery, and so I wanted to recreate this stage in my life in the form of an image, and this is how I interpreted it.
There is also this stigma that boys don't cry and should suck it up. It's a pathetic excuse that we as humans have been conditioned to believe because society deems this as a weakness. It's ok to cry. It's ok to grieve. If you are holding on to so many bottled up emotions, just let it all out. You will feel better, trust me. No, you should not be made to feel like you're less than a man if your feelings are hurt. You should not be made to feel like you're weak when you do cry. We all cry, and we all need a good cry. Being human means being able to find joy in sadness and sadness is one of few emotions that is vital to our well-being. It reduces and processes emotional stress and it elicits compassion from our loved ones. It is not a sign of weakness, on the contrary, it has been said that you have to be strong to cry. It is completely normal to cry, and it is completely natural.
