Sketchbook 2004
6 X 8.5 X 1”
Mixed media, acrylic and collage on wood panels.
Not a whole lot to explain. I made this book to use for sketching ideas and tracking progress. The numbers are the first 10000 decimal places after pi (or maybe only the first 7500). They were printed using a font generated from my handwriting. The palate swatches were from a bad print of something for a costume design project I’m working on. The head is intended to make people think of a Mozart-like musician and there’s a little cut out from some catalog that continues the musical theme.
The colors and images were meant to be compelling but not necessarily comfortable. That’s what the drawing process is like for me.
The details showcase the numbers and the waxed linen that holds the signatures in place.
As a bonus, here’s an image and detail of the sketch book it replaces.
