The
'Pencil Heads' drawing series started as a vehicle for me to get
back into traditional pencil/graphite and paper artwork, as I
had been doing so much work on the computer (and still do), but
wanted to flex my creative skills and get my hands and mind working
together again the 'old' way.
These
drawings were done primarily for fun, and something that would
sell easily. I have always enjoyed cartooning and caricature,
and love the effect of exaggerated and distorted human facial
features. The title of each drawing comes from a random list I
keep of made-up words and word combinations, puns, etc. that spring
to mind or come up in conversations. The title, 'Jesuspect' creates
interesting mental correlations that are left up to the viewer
to sort out on their own.
