From the studio: a creative reconstruction
A first-person creative reconstruction drawing on the biography and artworks.
I imagine removing the invisible ruler that tells a body where it should begin and end. A shoulder, a beard and an item of clothing should not have to agree. I enlarge their encounter, then leave it somewhere the gaze cannot immediately escape.
Working around Green Haired Bubblegum Woman, my attention returns to this detail: Green hair and a pink bubble of gum organize this small figure. The muted field leaves room around those saturated details. In the next passage, I imagine pulling back anything that weakens that encounter and leaving the areas holding its tension open for longer.
I spread the image across a horizontal desk in my imagination. Between areas covered by a hand and everyday objects, I reconsider which part of the face will keep looking back.
How the drawing works on this product
A desk mat spreads the artwork over a horizontal working area. A keyboard or mouse can cover parts of the image during use, so facial placement matters differently here than on a wall. Review the full mockup and measure the available desk space before selecting this format.
