“Jar - Riva Lehrer”, 2022, graphite and ink on a 28.5” x 40” Schoellerhammer drawing board.
A drawing of my dear friend (artist, author and activist) Riva Lehrer . Read her marvelous book Golem Girl.
Perhaps of interest: One well known art historical precedent including a bell jar is Joseph Wright of Derby's painting "An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump"

"The Perspective - Greg Metzler", graphite and ink on drawing board,
16.25" x 19.5"
This photograph is of me holding*** my recently finished drawing "The Perspective (Greg Metzler)".
Greg Metzler is a friend who is a marvelous photographer: mainly of nature, but other subjects as far a field as roller derby. He is a long time cancer survivor and a proven friend in time of need. For me the image is reminiscent of the nature/park settings of paintings by Watteau, such as one also titled The Perspective. The title of the my drawing nods to that painting by Watteau, although it goes in quite a different directions here.
*** I'm posting this image of me holding the drawing to help give a sense of it's scale.

"The Perspective (Greg Metzler)", graphite and ink on drawing board,
16.25" x 19.5"
I'm not certain that this drawing is finished, but it is for now. Hopefully I can at some point get a good scan of it and post some details, but for now this photograph is pretty representative of the piece.

"The Cave - Jim Croegaert", 2023, graphite and ink on a 14” x 14” Schoellerhammer drawing board.
(Updated on 4.10.23 after some re-working of the drawing.)
Jim Croegaert is a Evanston-based musician / singer / song-writer who I've known since the early '90s. This drawing is based on a photo I took during a photo shoot for his latest album. This size and shape of the drawing intentionally points to a certain type of music sharing technology called an "LP".
One of the key conceptual models for this drawing project is Giovanni Bellini's "St. Francis" in the Frick. That reference is perhaps particularly fitting in relation to this drawing.

"Pinwheel Galaxy and Crater - Vittorio Marella”, 6” x 4”, 2021, graphite, dirt and wood on Schoellerhammer drawing board mounted on MDF
I thought that this drawing was finished (see below), but when I was attempting to drill a key hole slot in the back of the piece (ie. Lesson # 37b - always drill a key hole slot prior to making the art) the drill press took creative matters in it’s own hands and—as predictably as the titlular meteorific crater references—plunged a hole clear through the panel! You can imagine my (%£€#¥<@&$:/!!!!) response. Ultimately it seemed fitting to welcome that physical (in contrast to rendered) “anomaly“ as part of the work: I filled the hole with a piece of wooden dowel, but made no effort to mask the addition.
At one point the subject of this work, the Venetian painter Vittorio Marella, was studying astrophysics, but eventually turned to a wholehearted focus on painting. That said this little work—part of my on-going project of portraiture as a kind of meditation on vocation / “voice”—suggests a metaphoric fittingness of that astronomical fascination.
The drawing’s composition nods to early (Medieval / Renaissance) images of astronomers.
