Oil Pastel on Newspaper • 12″x22″ • Private Collection
During a trip to New York City, I met a street artist named Matthew. He was drawing with marker and oil pastel on newspaper and referred to the process as “recycling”. Here are my attempts at “recycling”.
A collection of marker compositions juxtaposed with a suburban landscapes. I created the drawing of the houses first, then scanned them into the computer. Next, I manipulated the colors, printed out the design and then went to town with a marker directly on top of the printed image.
A political piece created hot on the heels of the 2000 election. Little did I know that the issue depicted would turn out to be the least of our problems.
