Symphoid Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I've started a new series of drawings involving staining and burning paper. So far, I've used coffee, red wine, and paper burning with a heat gun. After the stains/burns dry/cool, I draw on top of them with ink and white charcoal. You should try it, too, as it's fun to see what weird structures appear. My plan is to have 8-10 of these weirdos to hang somewhere in town. We'll see.

DaZeD Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Wow, that's really amazing, inventive idea! The second one Interterrestrial Architecture made me think of Ernst Haeckel's Drawings. http://neurologicalcorrelates.com/wordpres...melethallia.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symphoid Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks for the comment, DaZeD I haven't heard of that artist before, but I do see the similarities. Thanks for the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Dayyyum fine as usual! I think the first one is my favorite. The third makes me think of a splattered, tripped out gecko, in a good way. A way that doesn't include the death of a trippy gecko. They eat annoying bugs, which is nice. Interesting concept, too, with the stains. Funny, I was just doodling around a stain on the back cover of a notebook the other day, it was fun and kinda organic. Almost as if I was growing a picture, rather than drawing it, from a random chaotic pattern. Interesting to see what comes out next, as I'm now letting some coffee dry in my sketchbook... If I ever release an album I think I'll ask if I can use some of your work as the cover. If you would be so amazingly kind as to allow me to, that is.

Just let me know when you release that album. I'd love to help out. If you have a scanner, I'd like to see your drawing. The first one is great! Really good work.. Thanks, Antares Much appreciated.
