STILL TIED

A COUPLE YEARS LATER - TIME FLIES - IN THE AFTER LIFE

I’m still here. A bit astonished that I had not posted anything for a couple years. Just recently finished breath sheet 800! I was not expecting that. This is approximately 40,000 individual breath drawings. 

Over the past number of years these drawings are mostly representative of ethereal figures -human in another form. Maybe fantasy, maybe science fiction, maybe the invisible larger form of our higher selves.

Yesterday, May 28th, I completed my 400th sheet of the S.O.S. Breath Drawings Series that I started while at my current evening job at a call centre. I started there in October of 2013 and this job allows me 'moments' to doodle here and there throughout the evening. Other people there either read or do crossword puzzles or talk to their neighbors in between calls but I like to doodle.  I began a formatted drawing sequence on my 3rd sheet dated Dec.3, 2013. All are on the same paper using a medium ball point blue pen. Four and a half years later (I never thought I would have remained there for so long) I've managed to produce 400 of these sheets. Each of these pages average 50 drawings and fifty times four hundred equals twenty thousand! Way to go Robert! Now what?

I continue.

Here are a few from earlier this month.

A Long Way Up

It had been awhile since I had some nice long telephone conversations. I miss them. My old buddy Scott from Nov 8th and my older brother Gary from Nov10th.  Now where is Teranishi?

Most of my Breath drawings or doodles are really quite small in nature and are in the range of 1 - 3 inches in height. A few extend to the 4-5 inch range. They generally remain quite small because of the limited movement involved in this drawing style. This movement relates to the style of the drawings in that the only thing moving during the drawing process are my fingers and this gives me very circular and curved drawn lines. There is next to no wrist movement. When I move my wrist, I get a larger drawing. And when I move my elbow there is an even greater range of motion, giving me an even larger drawing, which in this case is unnecessary given the small notepad in which I have given myself to draw in. Also the larger wrist or elbow movement in the process of drawing will give me a different result in the final product that is if I have a larger drawing surface.  These results are generally not in the same style as these small drawings. But I am working on that.

This drawing below is a detail of one of hopefully many large scale doodles. You are seeing here about a third of the total drawing in process. This area measures about 7 x 9 inches of a yet undetermined finished size.  It is also upside down (I think).
