Non-slip surface design…09.17.10

Project : Echoes – 09.17.10

I decided to do things differently this time.  This time my “-ize” actually spotted a pattern that reminded me a little of a piece that I had completed previously. So I thought, with a few tweaks and additions, why not re-invent my drawing into something new and exciting?(for me anyway…I guess they are ALL new to you!) By the way, if you have not figured it out, the inspiration image is the non-slip bath tub surface in Quality Inn where I stayed last weekend. Continue reading →

The powerful pull of the “backstory”….

I have one of those six-CD changers in the trunk of my car plus a single CD player on the inside…but as much as I love music, I rarely change what’s in there.  In fact, most of the time, I have NO IDEA what’s in there and everytime I go through them I say to myself  “I really need to update these!”  My sons think it’s quite comical.  We have been listening to Darius Rucker’s solo debut CD “Back to Then” for over 5 years now. But they don’t seem to mind – it is one of their personal favorites. Continue reading →

All over pattern…


Most of my drawing compositions involve a self-contained element that I then manipulate by reflecting and copying in interesting arrangements to create a pattern.  The spacing between the elements, or whitespace, becomes as much a part of the composition as the elements themselves.  Continue reading →

Elephant Ear Graphic…09.03.10

Project Echoes 09.03.10

OK, a little late this time, but today is my catch up day. I think sometimes I suffer from having TOO many ideas and not knowing where to start…so once again, I will just START.

This elephant ear plant is in my front yard.  It has been there for quite some time. I have always seen pattern and graphics everywhere, but since I have started this project, it has taken on a whole new meaning for me. That same plant that I have been staring at for quite some time started to look like it was moving…calling me. Continue reading →

Brain drain…08.27.10

Ok, this one was pretty fun….so fun, in fact, it took me several days to finally put it down; but it is time to work on my next development. I will definitely come back to it, though…I always do.  Continue reading →
