Covid Crash Drawing 11
If someone asked me what I’d work on if I was locked in my studio because of a pandemic, I never would have guessed that the answer would have been these drawings. During that time, I was so depressed I couldn’t work on anything. It was during an endless Zoom meeting that I picked up a random sketchbook and ballpoint pen, just started drawing and didn’t stop for months. For a year, these drawings were the only things I could work on, they pretty much saved me and my creative practice.
I call them the Covid Crash Series, they’re hybrids; part dream, part nightmare, part, human, part humanoid, part plant, part animal…reactions to a nonsensical world gone viral-and not in a good way.
All are ballpoint pen on archival sketchbook paper, 9.5x7.25, unframed
