I'm constantly asked where the ideas from my paintings and drawings come from...and I hate to disappoint without a specific answer, but the truth is that it can really come from anywhere. It can sprout from an article I ran across...documentary I saw...a personal experience...looking at books, street signs, trash...even writing blogs about past work leads to new ideas, brings new thoughts on titling and helps shed light on current, future, and past work.
My most recent source of inspiration has actually been a lack of painting. Since the mural for my current show AERIALS (Facebook Event Page), I've taken a step back from my daily painting regimen to relax....with some constant drawing. Over the last couple weeks I've re-ignited by love of the line with over 25 new drawings of various scale...and while they haven't all ended up as favorites, a few are begging for a larger scale...
Take a look at some of my favorites from the last couple weeks and keep an eye out for some drawing-inspired large-scale paintings over the next few weeks...
