#imaginary architecture

Here are two of my most recent drawings. I'm continuing to make highly colorful pieces, but for these I wanted to try working in a relatively monochromatic mode. The first was done using colored pencils and pens, while the other was just one colored pencil. It's been interesting to do these and see the resurgence of some mark-making and the application of negative space I mostly haven't used since doing large-scale landscape drawings in grad school.

Lamentation by Jan Provoost, South Netherlandish, ca. 1510-1515

I LOVE the fantastical gothic architecture in the background

Bulldozed Fantasies:

This old Showa era house nearby was a hidden gem. Barely visible through the trees that surrounded it, it was an old wooden structure of the type disappearing in Tokyo (largely due to earthquake and fire regulations) that reminded me of something out of Tonari no Totoro. It even had signs that Meguro ward recognized some of the trees there as worthy of preservation.

Alas, as Tonari no Totoro is a fantasy, the idea that Meguro would preserve those trees, let alone the house itself is too. The last I saw of it in November, it was a cleared dirt lot with a few scraggy trees not yet removed. My fantasy---as always an absurd fantasy---of somehow living in a house like that in Tokyo took a hit. Then, observing what the January 1 earthquake in Isahikawa did to such old wooden houses with heavy tile roofs, my fantasy disappeared forever.

Alt-Text:  A portrait-oriented digital painting of an underwater scene, with colored thin pencil line art and cell shaded colors. The foreground shows a figure (medium-length dark hair, brown skin, in a white flowy shirt and tight green pants) falling unconsciously in the water, a sword in a scabbard trailing above them. Around them are three pillars, Grecian in style, with underwater vines on them and stone statues of naked women sitting down. Further away there is an ornate arch with a statue of a naked man holding a disc. In the background are domed stone buildings and large towering rock structures, with underwater plants growing (seaweed, lily, ferns). Throughout the painting, there are seas of fish drawn with varying complexity. Light beams down from the abstract surface of the water.

digital painting by me from early 2022

Houses, like people, are inclined to become rather eccentric if left too much on their own; this house was the architectural equivalent of an old gentleman in a worn dressing-gown and torn slippers, who got up and went to bed at odd times of day, and who kept up a continual conversation with friends no one else could see.

Three recent pieces, each done on paper using colored pencil, watercolor, and pen. The first was just accepted into a juried show. With the last, I'm pleased to have sort of accidentally arrived at the effect of the colors shifting beneath an outer skin. You can view more of my art on my artist website and Instagram page.
