birth and death

[“Birth And Death”. 2008. Pen­cil on paper. Approx 22x30 inches. Click on image to enlarge etc.]
I just whip­ped out this dra­wing ear­lier this eve­ning. It took me about as long as it takes me to draw one of my typi­cal “back of busi­ness cards” for­mat. Just this time I’m using [A] a much lar­ger piece of paper and [B] a very large carpenter’s pen­cil. Living out in the desert has made want to loo­sen up a bit. We’ll see where this goes etc.
It’s artis­tic merit [or lack the­reof] not­withs­tan­ding, I really like the sen­ti­ment, “Birth and Death will save the world”. Rock on.

    Have you ever con­si­de­red trying brush & ink? It’s a really exci­ting way to draw and I think your style would be really well expres­sed with awe­some ink work. You just need a really good brush…

    The loose style fits the sentiment.

    Let’s talk about reces­sion, Gas pri­ces, etc.

    Kinda looks like it’s been done on thin paper, taped-onto a TV screen (I’ve much pre­fe­rred some of your other pics — to be frank, but I thought it was about time I com­men­ted, as I’ve been visi­ting here for ages..).
    The pre­vious pic seems like a refe­rence to BigBrother/RealityTV.…(?)
    & I’m a bit of a vino-fan myself, but I’ve not seen your brand in England (that’s where I is). Maybe I shop in the wrong pla­ces ¦:¬)
    RespectØ.

    The words are great, Hugh. To me they speak to the power of Change — con­ti­nuous, uns­top­pa­ble, in everything and everywhere.
    Rock on indeed. Nice work.
