I have a solo show at Rockford College opening this Thursday, Feb. 2nd. The above image is just a section of a 7′ x 20′ composite/collaged wall piece comprised of individual pages from various sketchbooks over the last 28 years. Molly Carter is the director/curator of the gallery, helped me put up this wall piece and did a super job with some help from artist/printmaker/uber mench Dave Menard installing the rest of the show.
These drawings are on every kind of paper, vellum, ledger, bristol, onion skin, recycled, and drawn with ball point, gel, India ink, gouache, water color, Pitt Artist Pens, felt pens, Sharpies, colored pencils, fountain pen inks such as Noodler’s, Iroshizuku, Calli, Diamine, Platinum Carbon, also grease pencil, (aka- China marker), Tom Bow, Daler Rowney F.W. acrylic inks, Staedler, and probably a few other pens no longer in production.
Beautiful work as usual. I think you should publish your work in a book and sell. I would be the first to buy. Also materials were used of the man assulting the clown?
Hi Don! I love your drawings as they are inspiring! I do have one question. Other than your ledgers, what paper have you found that you can smudge the Pitt pens a little bit before it sets? Ive only found that the Moleskine journal paper can allow me to but those suck.what single sheets were you using in the Pitt pen demo on Youtube? I thank you for any input. Thanks Don!!! -Pete
