Not much change, just a little re-design taking some of the business away. This is under paint at this point using acrylic release techniques. That's pencil you see, but I rolled gesso over it for two reasons. First to set it so that it wouldn't smear and the second is to use the drawing as a shadow of what's to come. I may or may not keep some of the drawing as part of the finished work. There will be a lot of collaged acrylic paint applied like a decal such as you see dead center. This may end up being a self portrait speaking to the mechanical human being. I'm rolling those thoughts around in my head, especialy in light of some of the glazing techniques I've developed lately. The drawing is complex and the paint will be even more so. Think of this as a sugested road map that you may not follow to the letter. I seldom use a drawing because of the confines it establishes. I like paint to be paint. De kooning, Pollock, and Basquait are high on my list for inspiration but I do a little bit of everything. When something hits my world I have to paint it the way I envision it and it's a process because I change my mind as my moods change. Another words, nothing is written in stone. Welcome to my world. I hope you enjoy watching this process.
