Napkin drawings

napkins-1

Not quite corpses. 4 sides of a napkin folded over passed along and drawed on.

Another placemat drawing. Corpse 135

corpse one-hundred thirty-four: what’s on the menu/placemat?

While waiting for food at a restaurant. Not quite R. Crumb’s Waiting for Food: Restaurant Placemat Drawings, but similar. Corpses drawn on menus that double for placemats at a restaurant. I am happy to see the return of paper placemats, especially on brown craft paper, at restaurants where you can also get a good cocktail. May or may not (not sure I need the may not) have been inspired by the calamari. corpse 134

Apparently, someone knows where I live. Reminds me of those cones pets wear to stop them from pawing their head.

Automatic Two

Automatic-2This started off as an automatic drawing and then turned into something. Correction, this started as a note looking for an Ad Reinhardt quote about bumping into sculpture as you back up to look at painting. Non-members Only is a sign I think I saw somewhere in Vancouver. Anyone know the place. Seems it was neon at a club or music venue or something. Then came the drawing.

Automatic 1

I often find myself doodling while doing other things. On the phone, in a meeting, reading and I also sit down once in a while and try some automatic drawing. I’ve been digging a few of these up recently after being away for a while. Some marks recur while some reference things on my mind and develop into more thought out drawings that may depart from the automatic idea that I’ve written of before. Search Automatism or Automatic drawing in this blog. I cannot remember and am too lazy to look up the exact reference at the moment. More to come.

 

Automatic-2

 

This one done with my formerly trusty, but now leaking fine point rapidograph pen.
