A Quirky Collection

The first piece is done on scratchboard. The next two are mostly done with a 1/2 inch felt marker. Then a number weave and finally a loose geometric construction. The marker pieces were done in 2011. The rest were done within the past 10 years.

Four New Sketchbook Entries (B&W series)

These were done in pairs, one in a very small sketchbook and the other in a much larger sketchbook. Marks on paper.

Another Barely Geometric

This is in a small sketchbook, 5"x 8", and it fits the same category as a recent posting. Barely geometric. The colors are quite different on this one. Of course it doesn't really say anything, except that I like overlapping circle and paint spattering.

Just for Dennis

Black and white selected just for you, Dennis. This is old though. Sometime in the early 2000s. This came from a larger sketchbook, 11"x14". I had to photograph it rather than scan because of the larger size. The lighting could be better but you still get the idea.

Barely Geometric

What's involved here: compass, ruling pen, brush, Dr. Martin's Watercolor Dyes and a willingness to try anything. This did not work out particularly well, as I see it. But it may have some redeeming qualities. If nothing else: learning experience.

A Versal "A"

Italian Manuscript Letters (15th/16th Century)

I find some of these letterforms exceptionally odd. The "K" is a good example of what I mean. The source of inspiration was Day's Alphabets Old and New (1910).
