PBN-INRI (x4)

PBN-INRI (x4). 2008.
crayon on vellum. 36 x 29 in.

Well, after going through several china markers I've finally finished the drawing I started back in April. I think I'm happy with how it came out. Next step is to build a frame for it.

Borderline

Borderline. 2007.
collage and crayon on paper, mounted on glass.
8-1/4 x 7-1/2 in. (framed)

This is from a continuing series of small collages that are mounted on glass. I find that the glass acts as an effective framing device for the small scale (2-3/4 x 2 in.) of each collage. I guess I've made about 50 of these over the past 3-4 years, many of which are available for purchase at ShopSCAD. The debate over US/Mexico border security was in the news around the time I was making this piece.

Riptide

Riptide. 1998
collage, ink, enamel, and pencil on paper.
3-5/8 x 4 in.

This is from a series that made use of collaged diagrams taken from a handbook on sailboat racing (see upper center, with directional arrows). The swimming figure at the right was clipped from a Korean children's textbook.

New Work

Greeting (Double Halos). 2008.
ink, pencil, crayon, and collage on paper.
4 x 3-1/4 in.

Aqua Halo. 2008.
ink, charcoal, gesso, and collage on paper.
4 x 3-1/4 in.

Two new collages completed this week. I'm getting close to finishing the large Crucifixion drawing that I started in April - will post pictures as soon as I finish.
