studio video!
February 27, 2010
Today’s video was supposed to be cutting a woodblock, but the wood gouges were forgotten at the Monastery. So instead, more drawing.
I’m trying out a new method for counting lines: instead of counting in my head how many lines are drawn in each section and adding up all of those numbers, I’m making a tally of every group of five lines. This way maybe I can watch cartoons on the laptop while I draw, or talk with Peter on Skype (will try it out tonight and see if the drawing and the conversation interfere with one another). Five is a number I can feel with my hand instead of keeping it in my head. I think.
Yes, I am listening to Ozzy Osbourne while I work. I realized while drawing today that I added Ozzy’s “Bark at the Moon” to my blip.fm playlist more than once; not sure what that reveals about me but there you have it (full disclosure: I have the LP too). A song, of course, is only as good as its bridge, and as you can hear in the video. . . well. Other cheesy songs I’m embarrassed to admit I like but which can probably be found more than once on my blip.fm playlist include Peter Murphy’s “Cuts you up” and Murray Head’s “One Night in Bangkok”. Don’t judge.
