Here is the first officially "completed" drawing done in Bratislava! The medium is once again, the iPad, with the Brushes app. I packed lightly for my trip ( as lightly as I could, when 80% of my travel gear is already art supplies), and considered leaving the iPad behind, only working with organic media. Wait.. I think I'm going to start considering the iPad as organic media. They are, after all, made by hand. Anyways ! I'm so glad I brought this along. After doing this piece I realize how much of a staple the medium is in my work.
This drawing quickly took on the appearance of a Japonisma approach. Japonisma is more or less, the 19th centuries' obsession and influence by Japanese prints. Van Gogh, Matisse, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Cassatt were all dramatically influenced by Japanese prints when they arrived in Europe. These artists began to incorporate the features of Japanese prints, such as flat shapes and patterns, into their own work.
I took this approach on, because I tend to use the Brushes app in two ways: as a sketchbook for line, and as a printmaker for colors. So, when I add color to these drawings, I am working on a different layer for multiple colors, just as a printmaker has a plate for the line, or "key" image, then a separate plate for color.

Hello Flickr, once again. I am going to keep up with this account and try to upload at least 3 times a week. I used to have an account and interacted with amazing photographers. I am searching for that again.
Atlanta, Georgia.
little spring stars in a neighborhood forest
Vorfrühling
Welch goldnes Leuchten fließt so ungeahnt
Wie lichter Zauber um die starren Bäume?
Was zittert wie geheimer Feierton
Mit leisem Klingen durch des Himmels Räume?
Die Flut des Lichts rinnt mit froher Hast
Vom Felsenhaupt bis in des Abgrunds Klüfte,
Und horch! – schon ruft ein Fink mit leisem Schlag
Zaghaften Jubel in die stillen Lüfte.
Es hat der Lenz in stummer Ungeduld
Der Erde schon gestanden seine Liebe,
Die Lider ihr mit lindem Strahl geküßt,
Daß sie nicht mehr im Schlaf befangen bliebe.
Er hat der tief entschlafenen zugeraunt
Der Sehnsucht erste, seligbange Frage
Und ihr versprochen, was die Liebe schenkt:
Verklärte Nächte, sonnenschöne Tage! –
Und sieh! Von ihrem Antlitz hebt sie leis
Den duftgewobnen, zarten Nebelschleier
Und schaut mit Augen, die der Traum noch bannt,
Wie zweifelnd auf den leuchtenden Befreier.
Noch fast sie nicht die ganze süße Luft,
Noch hängt an ihrer Wimper schweres Trauern;
Doch mehr und mehr erkennt sie schon den Freund,
Und leis erbebt ihr Leib in Wonneschauern.
Otto Ernst
another piece i did with groups like the WWF AND ISF and many others in mind as inspiration, helping protect animals. SO many animals are in danger of becoming extinct....
Chinese police state spies are everywhere. This guy was looking for Falungong but he couldnt find any for organ harvesting to sell to rich French men that day.
