I like to draw. It's pretty much as simple as that. All the work before you begins in a sketchbook, usually with a pen (though I'm flexible on that point). It's typically in a Moleskine sketchbook, the kind with an elastic closure that fits nicely in your pocket. Then at a future time, perhaps weeks or even years after the original drawings are made, I make copies. On a copier. at Kinkos. Sometimes, I redraw the original sketch. The purpose of this step is of course to reproduce the work but also to manipulate the original drawing. Make it 200% bigger, 35% smaller, grayed out, dark and bold. Then I mix up all these many pieces to make a new picture. I boil water and make tea, Constant Comment or sometimes Red Zinger, depending. I use the tea, along with inks, coffee, graphite and gesso to go into the new picture and redraw, apply washes of color, and further manipulate my own imagery. So just what is the subject you may be asking? I don't really know. I draw flowers. I draw places around town. I like drawing from life, but not drawing people. I mostly draw places that I travel to. Because I really like traveling. A lot. More than drawing even. So occasions where I can travel and draw (and maybe mix in gelato) make me a super happy camper. I enjoy drawing impermanent things; it's a way of capturing them, cementing them in your mind, experiencing them fully. So there's that too. I also take a lot of satisfaction in creating fantasy landscapes that are in fact composites of real places.
