***************I am always loathe to make a new post after a post that I really really like, because anything else is always disappointing. But then I would never post again, and I can't have that.
So what these are is dream-sketches. Dreams are a phenomena that no one has ever been able to adequately explain. I'm taking them as mini-assignments. You have a dream, and the dream has images, but also has a feeling. So those primary images and that feeling is the starting place. How does one illustrate such a thing? Well. Here are three dreams from the past few weeks. I'm actually a little bit pleased with them, because they all capture the feeling I had in the dream. And the one about socializing under the stairs actually looks like the space under my stairs, even though I drew it at someone else's house. I guess I know what the space under my stairs looks like. It was in my dream!
Wonderful work!!
ReplyDeleteNice idea, they say that you should speak of your dream the moment you wake as the dream soon starts to fade once the real waking world takes hold of you, so many dreams are lost....
ReplyDeleteVery wonderful drawings of your dreams. Never thought of sketching my dreams before.
ReplyDeleteI love your drawings! Really similar to etching. My favorite is the one with the two people looking at ... something. hehe I like the fact that we do not know what they are looking at... and the sheets in the wind.
ReplyDeleteCame by out of curiosity after your kind words about my IF doodle this week, and have just spent 20 mins looking at your drawings. Loveliness!
ReplyDeleteThe idea for these is brilliant as well. There's a guy called Christopher Leitch who draws ALL of his dreams - I don't know if there's any of his stuff online, but I found him in Jennifer New's book 'Drawing From Life' (which is really inspiring).
Drawing dreams can be so insightful. These are wonderful!!! Love the way you have used line. I especially love all the line patterns in the third one with the clothesline. All are great though!
