Art Basel

The Art Basel Miami Experience is now only a memory. After 4 days of craziness my only comment is that Miami is like Vegas: just as dirty and insane except its not fake its REAL> hahaha. I saw some much art i never wanna see art again!

face

face - sketch with pen and colored pencil. approx 8" x 10"


I am doing these tiny sketches of faces. I think i am becoming interested in how multiple expressions and emotions might form, and what constitutes a 'face'. This exercise could evolve into a form of figure drawing, where i begin to render full bodies in this way. I like the bleeding of the edges.
