New painting by Chagall. Just listened to the BBC program interview. Love these insights & stories.
Buy a print!
Prints of all my sketches, in this blog, in the Thousand Sketches and in the Gallery are for sale.
Dare I say it, there is just enough time left for Christmas if you buy now. In New Zealand you have a little longer.
Art?
This is an image of Edgar Degas.
It began as a self portrait. Was captured in a movie and then I snapped it off the TV – made this using an iphone ap. But is it art? Anyway, I like it.
More Comic Art
This is from “Where Grows the Bitter Herb” by Ben Powis
Comic art
Reading Robot Comics on the iPhone – a pleasure. Occasionally pages stand out as really exellent illustrations. I’ll send them along to the blog.
These are from Birth 1 by Michael S. Bracco, another follows.
Circle Doodle
Is it just me or is this lovely in it’s simplicity and ease of execution on the I Doodle app?
Signed one follows
Avatars change who we are
The “sig” series I am doing, and there are a lot of them, are with a consciousness of the importance of identity and how the relationship with an avatar is reciprocal. Signing images I make is a work in process. I have signed some on the computer, but mostly I print them and sign and date them on the day of printing. I think of it as marking the making of the physical object.
More and more I want to sign them as I make them. One way or the other? Right now it could be anything! These Sig images, made on the iphone are printing well. I sign them again. Just WL and the date, in pencil.
But the alchemy of the avatar is still at work, and the change is not done. I amight be a bit old for this sort of adolescent exploration… but that is the way it is! As an artist I am young.

“Who we choose to be in turn shapes how we behave,” Yee writes in the draft paper. “While avatars are usually construed as something of our own choosing – a one-way process – the fact is that our avatars come to change who we are.”
William Scott – Modernist
I am into these people from the 50s. McCahon etc. I wish I had appreciated them more at the time!
William Scott Google Artist Images
Here are a some I like from William Scott:
Dick Frizzell – The Painter
Enjoying this book a lot! His art is fun and his storytelling is fun. I identify with him a lot. Drawing from comic books as a kid, being the best drawer in the class. Uni in the sixties at Canterbury.
I learn about art too. For example the British painter William Scott was briefly an influence on Frizzell. I’ll post up some of his. I like them. Simple, but really more difficult to pull off than they look!
