Creative Approach and Technique

My drawings explore micro-landscapes of my nostalgic-imaginative process. They are mini-vignettes that appear as neural pathways and organic matter down to the cellular level. Many stories and scenes capture movement and interaction. Recognizable shapes (sometimes funny/odd characters) pop out, stretching and blending with each other to form a landscape full of cryptic communication, organic "intertwination" and other psycho-biochemical goodness. It's a fun and revealing process. The pen and pencil's intensity produces a range of shapes, textures, light levels and contrast. The type of paper influences the outcome, since the pressure on the pen or pencil determines line strength. I use a medium to heavy weight paper. A light, yet rapid brushing motion with varying pressure creates detailed shapes and shading. This is a very meditative process, and each piece takes about 25 to 50 hours to complete. I begin mainly without pre-determined or even pencil-sketched ideas of a set or known image, rather, I'm interested in spontaneous designs that flow from unfettered interactions between mind-imagination, hand and paper.
