Illustration Friday: Diary

Art Journal July 9, 2010

(graphite, colored pencils and pen - illustration friday)

Well. I am well aware that the topic itself was "Diary", and I have toyed with several ideas in connection with it, but in the end I am just posting a recent page of my everyday Art Journal (presently a Moleskine). It was created on the way to my in-laws in the car, just for fun and to kill the time. Kinda zombie woman or what.

I am not very happy with the result: the statement is weak and pretty commonplace-y. I have had a relatively large pencil drawing (the person in the roots) for months and been waiting for the Real Thought to finish the trunk. Well, I just lost my patience and finished it a couple of hours ago. The digital background helped it a bit, and who knows, it might end up as a totally different image in the future...

Under the drawing there are fragments of the three books which have formed me all my life; without them I would not be what I am now. As a matter of fact, I would not be at all. But it is a long story.

The quoted texts are from A kitömött hattyú by Péter Esterházy, Shakespeare Our Contemporary by Jan Kott and Iskola a határon by Géza Ottlik.

As I am buried with my Master's stuff, just a quick image pun.

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...

I am playing around with a new style that I have come across and liked very much. The whale reference image is borrowed but unfortunatelly I forgot to mark from where. I apologize.
