I have drawn over the past week or so, but nothing relevant to this blog. I decided to post several pieces of artwork of some of my favorite modern artists. I'm not going to write titles down because I don't know them.
ALEX GROSS:
I know this one is called "Premonition."
FRANZ ACKERMANN:
I know this first one is part of a mental map series which I had the pleasure of seeing at the SFMOMA.
PAUL MADONNA:
He writes comics for the SF Datebook, which are where these drawings are from. I don't find the text he includes with his drawings relevant, so I found some that didn't really have any. Anyway, he does really lovely sketches of SF.
"Premonition" reminds me of that famous Frida where she's standing on the US-Mexico border. And I like the little political bite in the last Paul Madonna.
ReplyDeletealso, can the perfect tea:milk:sugar ratio be taught?
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, and you can adapt it for your palate. What I do is brew about 1 1/2 cup of black tea; I add three spoonfuls of sugar, stir, then add not to much milk. It should come out to a pleasant brown/golden color. I hope that works. I'm bad at directions.
