Party down!

A couple of nights ago, I drew this doodle:



As I was drawing it, I realized that some of the marks were looking representational, so I kind of began to emphasize that, while trying to keep it basically abstract--to represent the spirit of, umm, "partying down" without showing any actual recognizable shapes.

Then I decided to see how an actual representational drawing using the same composition would look, so I basically re-traced the shapes by turning them into cartoony images, then colored it:

Imbroglio--a sketch

A rearrangement of this earlier post.

In case you're wondering, inadvertentproject.blogspot.com is an old blog I had used for a brief project, which I have revamped into a bare-bones site in order to show some of these animations with no interference. It is essentially an adjunct of this blog, which is why you can't leave comments there. I'm just using it to get as blank and neutral a setting as possible.

Flashing Albers Squares

Again, see it here.

(Try focusing on one square at a time, and see how your experience of the work changes based on the square you choose. And, again, strobe warning.)

Gray on gray

Umm, I wasn't crazy about how this post looked on this blog, so see here.

(If the image is too big for your monitor, you can zoom out, under "view" in your browser--if you use Firefox, at least.)
