Today, once I had finished with work for the day, I decided to start on a a new drawing. 18 x 24 inches. Pencil and pen & ink on paper. Working Title: “Fred 42″ [I’ll explain the title at a later date].
So far I’m having a blast. We’ll see where this all takes me. I have no idea how long it’ll take me to complete, but I’ll let you know when it happens. Rock on.
Hey, a real world social network!
Love these new works, Hugh. They’re like American abstract expressionist line art. Rock on.
Hugh,
A. Do you have a price list — or a price primer of some sort?
B. Will you be at Microsoft’s Worlwide Partner Conference (Houston) this summer?
I like it a lot. The larger canvas really pulls you in to the detail!
Is it a Fred 62 reference? Please be a Fred 62 reference…
Hugh, I like these. You’ve got a real cartooning sensibility even in your more abstract stuff (or maybe after years of looking at your cartoons I’m just seeing themes play out in new and interesting variations). Have you ever considered adding color? Very cool stuff.
Love it, Hugh! The new direction is fantastic. The bigger the better, I say. What’s next? Murals? Keep it up…
It’s very intense to see you reveal your process here. There is a kind of innocence I think may be part of coming from this online world, not the art world. You are rockin’ and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
