...till death do us apart...


...till death do us apart...
(pencil drawing and collage on an accounting sheet)

The story is similar to my Face-off. I have found an old ink jet print of a 19th century photograph in one of my old folders. It is approximately twice as big as the original picture, and was printed on cardstock. I seem to be obsessed with spilling liguid as this one has gotten some too. And the spots were so beautiful and discolored that I had to integrate them into the final drawing.

I evidently cannot get rid of my flying stuff, but I really do not mind it...

Appr. 8" x 16".

Face-off



Face-off
(pencil drawing, copied electronically and digital background added)

Has a history. I needed a devious older face for a work, and I drew one. But I was not sure how I was going to use it, so I copied it several times on several sheets of paper to experiment. This was a left over. I evidently spilled different kinds of liquid onto it several times, got a tape spot, etc. (We are talking about years.) I found it a couple of days ago in an old folder of mine, and fell in love with its surprise: the naturally tattered, shabby, grungy look. So I manipulated a bit more in Photoshop and kind of liked the result.
