It’s that time of year. Spring cleaning. The house is still cold but it’s warm enough outside to open the windows all the way. April. After Easter. Everyday is rain and crazy clouds. Then clear blue and sunny for a minute. The magnolia trees are super pretty right now. It’s interesting to see their colors change against various sky colors: blue, white & grey.
Pittsburgh PA is mostly grey. But when the sun’s out all the colors change. Last nite I was driving around and the late day grey was pierced by magic hour sun and stark slate backgrounds difficult to render by sketch or by photo even—one of those impossible to capture color arrays.
Rain everyday so it’s easy to putz around inside. While doing laundry in the basement, I started moving piles of papers around. I have this big eight-foot sheet of plywood at one end to stack drawings on. I haven’t organized it since before I went to New Mexico years ago. And I’ve only added to the scrap heap since. Lets see what kind of scraps I can find. Spring cleaning show and tell.

Another Brinkman poster below. Check out how it photographs differently depending on light and other colors. Dude’s trippin’.

Last one. I got Gary Panter to draw over top of one of my grid templates (below). 2009.
Hope that was fun and not too boring. Trying to get a handle on my hoarding :0
