Is it just me or is this lovely in it’s simplicity and ease of execution on the I Doodle app?

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!

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!

La Bella Principessa
From World News
A portrait of a young woman thought to be created by a 19th century German artist and sold two years ago for about $19,000 is now being attributed by art experts to Leonardo da Vinci and valued at more than $150 million.
The unsigned chalk, ink and pencil drawing, known as “La Bella Principessa,” was matched to Leonardo via a technique more suited to a crime lab than an art studio – a fingerprint and palm print found on the 13 1/2-inch-by-10-inch work.

Charles Keeping
I listened to this interview on Kim Hill – Kate de Goldie on Charles Keeper, & became curious about the art she was talking about.
I’ve found some images & posted them below, more quirky than I thought. I like them.
