New drawings online

I just added my new collage/drawings to my website...you can see them a bit closer here. Size is 11" x 11" each. Mixed media on paper mounted on board (gouache, pencil, graph paper, ink, joint compound and wood putty). Despite the variety of materials, I usually just call them drawings.

Above is a picture of 12 of them together because I like the way they look when displayed in a grid, but they are individual works. I finished them earlier this month. They came out of the smaller studies that I made in March. These 12 drawings are square format, but I also made some rectangular ones that I didn't post on my website. Here's two of them, both sized 10" x 12" (these are NOT from the group of 12 above):

The funny thing is that these drawings have very little to do with most of the new sculptures I have planned, although my intentions when I began working on them was to develop ideas for new projects. Instead they became a self-contained project, but there is a loose relationship to a future series of sculptures which will use the form of tenement buildings to explore ideas of emergency preparedness.

Oh yeah, all of this stuff is for sale (and reasonably priced), so if you like the drawings, contribute to my "build the sculptures" fund. I even accept PayPal. Just sayin'.
