Update

I've updated the "Progressions" page with the latest stages of the Allegory of Home #2 drawing. Check them out by clicking the tab above.

The cityscape is starting to develop. I'm not sure how I feel about it and its effect on the work both conceptually and formally/compositionally. I'll keep working though, and see where it leads.

Also, soon to come: Sketches for my projects on deck.

Another New Drawing

This is the latest stage of another new drawing, from the same series.
You can also find images of this drawing's progression on my "Progressions" page (see tab above).

New Drawing

The paintings were getting to feel laborious, and I wasn't enjoying working on them, so I started reinterpreting my topic in large scale drawings. The idea was to make the compositions more dynamic, and break the "fourth wall" more effectively. This is the same subject, but less frontal, and the hierarchy of scale is less irresolute, meaning that the important objects in the image are actually treated as though they are important.
They are still in progress. More images to come.
