Works in progress!
Sometimes I like the works the most like this: just plastered on the wall. Unfinished. Rough and raw. Some curled up pink tape to frame it all.

Had a pretty big win today, so I’m just gonna go get some ice cream and call it a weekend. Have a great weekend ya’ll!
Finished a new drawing as well, Komposition 1, adding it to the drawing section.
Komposition 1, charcoal on Fabriano 200gsm paper
I think it’s interesting how strict geometry can still feel soft and human through these layered, textured lines. The mechanical pencil’s recurring mechanical failures give the process a life and randomness that’s pretty funny concidering how structured the process otherwise would be, I was concerned that bringing a plotter into the mix would make the drawings too rigid and ordered but the effect was the opposite: the plotter is way less ordered than I am and these drawings that are part human and part machine are less ordered than my purely manual drawings. My machine is humaning better than me at the moment strangely enough, I can’t but laugh.
Added to DRAWINGS and AVAILABLE WORKS!
Symmetri" is one of my first plotter/manual drawings, created with a 2D pen plotter I recently brought into the studio as a kind of assistant.
For this piece, I worked with an automatic pencil, adjusting both tension and lead softness to achieve depth and darker tones. It’s an early experiment in trying to combine mechanical precision with the sensitivity of hand-drawn graphite.
