Grimshaw's Sketchbook: July 2010

humaniod form

from a sketchbook just after right out of high-school I found. I just tweaked it a little in photo-shop.

naked man in desert

one of the "Naked Guys" series. I hate the pose. I've heard this is called "fly-swatting"

nude man with balls in extremely sparse landscape

one of the "Naked Guys" series.

girl with one arm too big

it's painful for me to look at this. her arm is out of proportion. etc. Maybe I'll fix it in P-shop. Her feet are enormous.

sketch of a mans face

Pencil. If I recall correctly this was a man I saw at an airport.

two tiny angels

I found these sketches from a tiny notepad taped to pages in a sketchbook. I really like them but don't know why.

Drunk Jeff ?

Pen & Ink. I was really into Al Columbia at the time. ( and still am )

Imaginary portrait of Oscar Wilde

I love foppish Victorian dandies. Especially extremely witty homosexual ones.

man with enormous head staring into the abyss

This is how I feel when I wake up at 4.a.m. and think about being dead and the millions of years that will go by as the universe keeps expanding until all matter and energy ceases to exist and time comes to a standstill.

miserable businessman

There is some sort of state of the human condition that I think I've captured here but I'm not sure what. The grim acceptance of one's own self-defeat ? there is a Reagan era Nagelness here that seems to be not working quite right.
