Palimpsest. Something I find particularly compelling. Whether I’m motivated to work back into a drawing because I’m lured by a seductive idea teasing me to follow and develop it; or because the page bears little appeal, i.e. the drawing just plain sucks, and I give myself permission to liposuck and surgically ad hoc the beejeeziss out of it, it is a very freeing process once I push the GO button.
The following sets of drawings show the morphed image and it’s inchoate precursor.
Fountain pen, Pitt Artist Pens, grease pencil, ballpoint and watercolor pencils on various papers- old ledgerbooks, Clairefontaine Goldline Watercolour sketchbook, and mulberry paper.

Been traveling a bunch lately and adding some from here, some from there as I sit at the airport gate. Four different airports comprise this sketch.

Sez he’s, “…partial to the Kremlin model… let everything burn to the ground, and THEN take over.”

Distressing watching the war rage on in Ukraine where the Ukrainians are fighting with one hand tied behind their back and know they cannot take the fighting to the Russians even while the Russians are targeting Ukrainian civilians and inf. That this has become a political volleyball with ultra conservatives siding with Russia leaves no doubt how the former president and his followers feel about attacking the innocent and they wouldn’t be restrained by Geneva Convention guidelines.
