About my "Current Art Project 07/08"
Duration: 1 year
Dates: November 2, 2007 - November 2, 2008
For all who would like to know, I have been drawing the human nude figure live in "Semi-Abstract" form on newspaper with charcoal since 2003 (an ongoing process).
A project idea came about one day last year. The concept of drawing myself nude every day for one year within any style, pose, view, expression, etc. in form I could possibly achieve or manipulate in diversity, took flight. The perfect date to start was my 31st birthday, obviously.
The project is a perfect opportunity to record my drawing evolution through a one year time period. I find the whole experience appealing and whimsical at the same time.
Remembering is a strong focus key. I remember a period I would wake up in the middle of the night contemplating for hours, after suddenly remembering to draw, whether I should get up, strip, get in front of a mirror, and grab that piece of charcoal while tearing that piece of newspaper, or not.
I have not missed a day.
I will try my best to upload new drawings every week.
Ongoing select drawing sessions are displayed in fast motion on YouTube.
