Drawing to relax..

April 26, 2017

I have a surfboard, that, in this landlocked country, I do not use. One day, not being able to progress on my artwork, I thought: f* it, I am going to try to make a drawing on that board. Just a drawing. Something one would expect, on a surfboard or snowboard. A cool illustration. No politics, no philosophy, no symbolism, no meaning, no juxtapositions, no fitting into the art history of the whole wide world... just a drawing.

Here are the first try outs on paper, before I transfer them to the surfboard. To see how these posca pens work that I will need to draw on the material of the board, what colours they have and what kind of tips. To just draw without thinking about meaning, composition or continuity. It is actually quite relaxing.

Hmmmm...

Telling, isn't it?
