Gallery 5 Show Came and Went

drawing-a-day

For the start of the New Year, I will be doing a drawing a day until I stop doing a drawing a day.  Let's pretend I started on the 1st even though it's the 2nd (well, technically the 3rd since it is 2:15 am.)  These drawings will incorporate random elements of life, all be inspired by titles or phrases, and suggestions of titles or phrases are welcomed and encouraged (give me the phrase and I will make the drawing). Ciaooooooo! 

Such a sweet creature to smile like that:

Pre-critique taken with my macbook. Better pictures soon to follow...but you get the gist of what I'm about. 

Bacon! nom nom nom

So Leah got me this Francis Bacon book for my birthday and the more I read it, the more obsessed I become with the ridiculousness of it all.  There are very few things that I can honestly say I like more than the paintings of a drunk old gay english man. Done.

I mean: 

 

 Duh.

Of course, the most important one--the painting that started it all--has to be The Human Body, 1982-4 which strikes an uncanny resemblance (most likely solely influenced by and based on) Hans Bellmer's, Doll, 1936, cast in 1965.  You be the judge...either way...still ridiculously awesome. 

Bacon.

Bellmer.
