from doodle to doodle


i have recently been cleaning out my studio, and poking about in some stacks of artworks i have made. i thought i would share some here. it's funny. i used to do this sort of doodle art all the time, and then i stopped doing it, because i got into more 'serious art' stuff. and what the hell does that mean anyway? so, i stopped doing it for a while, and did other things. i find it quite amusing that i am back to doodle art now. i am no longer afraid of just drawing, and taking the time to make it fine art (process). just cos it's a doodle, that doesn't mean it can't be a screenprint or painting, or crazy, crazy stamped out image.

this is one of my favorite printed doodles. this is a hand pulled serigraph of a girl named 'Jinx'. she is fond of the striped shirts, and also of standing about outdoors at night.

this is a one of a kind serigraph (screenprint). it is a 3 color print (blue, yellow, black) made on arches 88 paper. this image was made with 2 methods--a reduction screen filler method for the color, and a photo emulsion screen for the black line work.

image measures roughly 8x5 inches, paper measures about 10x7 inches.

remember, just cos it isn't photo-real, and doesn't have 80 thousand layers, doesn't mean it isn't art!
