"desertmanhattan": progress report

Oct 13, 2008

I started adding the acrylic last week. If you click on the top picture, you’ll see I’ve just start applying the India Ink, towards the top. That was yesterday. If you click on the link above, I made a little 2-minute phonecam video explaining everything in greater detail.
This thing is going to take forever to finish. I’m not worried, there’s no rush etc.

I drove through Alpine yesterday on my way out of Marfa. Beautiful out there. Seems like a place that offers plenty of both time and inspiration. A great place to focus your energies.

Love it! Hugh, please consider NOT re-touching the smudge(s). I thought the shading offered great depth to the piece. And maybe also only ink in some of the pencil lines as the different media really makes it artistically engaging. Consider consider consider.
The fact that you’ve moved to large canvas substrate vs. business card stock would call for a look at making these more painterly in the end. n’cest pas? non?
