8×11 in. marker and pen.
I will be working for my son this Saturday at the Putnam County Library and thought sharing this drawing would be appropriate. I will be manning his booth that will have his mini-comics and some prints he has done. The above drawing was something i did for him for helping me out one day. He does robots a lot more interesting than these , but for a quick on the moment thing…i like it. A little whimsy in the names and such, but you have to look hard.
8.5×11 in. pen and ink.
This is the second one done during my downtime while at this past years art prowl. The subject was actually from some words I had put on my blotter, “art can be elusive,” in my basement studio.(by the way that is my blotter in the background on this photo) While thinking about that this piece took form…drawing about words I try to link most objects, although it isn’t a hard fast rule. In fairness to the process this was finished at my desk and not during the art prowl…the biggest clue…note the bottle of terro, i am sure most art shows wouldn’t require it 😉 It was just an interesting object in my line of site and filled the void presented on the paper. Same could be said about my glass of ice cold diet coke. The rest? … they are almost just positioned doodles in a pen and ink composition. But none the less these are fun to do even if all never get completed or see the light of day…lol
BS or Art? Art can be so elusive to most people, but we must all try our best. Ken Knieling 2011
PS…If it makes my work seem better to you thinking BS is short for cow manure then i am fine with it…but the truth is it stands for Bored Scribbles , used that in college and it still fits 😉 . As to if it is ART?…well that is in the eye of the beholder, right?
