Done some fifteen years ago, this small piece for a Gilbert Paper Company promotion and was prompted by Rick Valicenti asking a group of designers the question:”If you were able to remake the world. . . ?” My answer.

2 drawings, 2 hours, too bad ? I was cleaning up my desk (in the old days I used to call it “my board”) when I spilled some ink and blotted it up with the following (even after a few additions and rearrangements) uncharacteristic results.

2 drawings, the first one scanned twice, once in gray-scale and once in B&W, followed by a rubbing drawing, and two photographs,”juxtapositioned.” Not a word, but it should be.

3 pages from current “typographic” collage/drawing sketch book. Fake graphic design from someone who no longer does the real stuff because he is a retired “exit-level designer,” but still clings to the idea of making imaginary pages that might of had some potential for the real thing at some time in his working past !

Birthday lettering gift for a friend.
Two small 1969 watercolor paintings recently rediscovered in my garage. They seem out of date for the time, they should have been done 10 years earlier, in the 50’s ! No wonder they didn’t sell for the $15 price tag they still had on them.

A page from a 2011 sketch book, a drawing with some collage bits added and a comment, “…something to do with Poe.”
An imaginary record sleeve for an exhibition in Norway, 2010, in which a selection of artists and designers contributed original artwork for a cover of a musical event or group of their choice. Click on the image for a close-up look as to what’s actually going on !

3 pages from a recently started new sketch book: 7×7 square, black ballpoint and black Prismacolor pencil (which seems to scan with a greenish cast. I probably should rescan them in grayscale, or I could claim it as an “arty” effect!)

Rearranged old photo. The actual subject of the picture is removed, keeping only the (reversed) peripheral areas.
Forensic mystery ? No, its’ not.

Four drawings with collage, 9×12 inches, from a 1987 sketch book. These are variations on “Oedipus Rex,” a 1922 painting by Max Ernst.

Three days, three drawings with collage bits . . . all very small scale, around 5×5, 5×7, 4×6 or so inches. Kind of like everything I do nowadays.
