the george series

2 Comments

[Extreme close-up of Marfa One.]

I’m going to be making more large paintings.

Marfa One was 48“x48”. These new ones will be half those dimen­sions i.e. 24“x24”.

India Ink & acry­lic on can­vas. Maybe some pen­cil as well.

I’m calling these “The George Series”. George is a nice name. A friend of mine used to have a lovely dog named George etc.

[The begin­nings of a “George”, with Desert­Manhat­tan (48“x96”) stan­ding behind it etc.]

Kee­ping them sim­ple, basic and raw. Not unlike my business-card car­toons or my Moles­ki­nes. Car­toons dan­cing with abs­tract etc.  Social. Exis­ten­tial. Lyri­cal. The same phi­lo­sophy behind them etc.

This is going to be very cool…

   Isn’t 24x24 a quar­ter the size of 48x48? (not half)

     D’oh…! You’re right. I meant “dimen­sions”, not “size”. Well spot­ted. Fixed.
