| SBSM: John Gannam! |
For this week, we have a nice feature on the painter John Gannam. His work has always reminded me of Zorn and seems to straddle the line between illustration and gallery work (not that there has to be a line in the first place).

Enjoy!

Recently I've been exploring different ways of drawing. These are few of the more successful ones. I have a hefty stack of failures, but I'm excited about some of the things I learned. The top image was an experiment with scanning in a drawing, destroying it, printing it out again, and then adding pastel and colored pencil on top. The other images were drawn very quickly with black colored pencil, normal pencil, and a little charcoal. I made an effort to draw them without any construction underneath. Just started with a line and tried to make it work. The mistakes were just as fun to work with as the more "correct" marks. Been looking at a lot of Schiele, Kent Williams, and Klimt.
take care!
