Sketches from last night’s Simulacrum artist panel discussion at CCAD featuring Chris Hanson, Eleanor Heartney, Tom Burkhardt, Kaz Oshiro, Tony Matelli, and Hendrika Sonnenburg, all of whom are much more beautiful in real life…
One of the things I really love about sketches in general is the way they – by necessity of time, circumstance, and place – seem to become a sort of shorthand for much more complex ideas and details. I’ve always appreciated the brevity some artists have, the way they can coerce a single line into speaking volumes, into communicating so much. Very occasionally I’ll see a hint of that evident in one of my sketches, but more frequently than not they’re just amused scribblings of the moment.

I did this sketch when I was 18 years old - that's more than 40 years ago. It was based on a sketch by Peter Paul Rubens of his young son. I found my mom still has it although it's put away for safe keeping but not shown. No idea why.
I wasn't a particularly good artist but I was encouraged to enter it into the art show at the local fall fair & it won first prize. I can see lots of flaws in it.
While I do have some artistic ability, it's funny that my heart isn't in it. I'd rather express my creativity other ways. Perhaps if I'd had some training & had an idea how to use various media, it would've been different. What I wanted to paint or sketch was beyond my knowledge of how to accomplish it.
Any time I've done art pieces that I really liked & was pleased with, I gave them away. Wish I had photos of them at least. I still do some sketching but not much - more like my cats, a flower or leaf, my foot in front of me, stuff like that.
This is a comparison of the insole outlines of the Inov-8 F-Lite 195 and the New Balance MT101 with an outline of my bare foot. Both shoes are size 10.5 US. Overall lengths, measured with an Incra Rule in 1/32nd increments, are:
F-Lite 195 - 11 18/32" or 11.5625"
MT101 - 11 12/32" or 11.375"
bare foot - 10 22/32" or 10.6875"
