...Being the second drawing transcribed from the original newspaper photograph of a Euro 2008 football match crowd, this one following on to the right of the previous example, again, in its gridded format, serving as a discrete unit &, as synecdoche, as a part of the whole.
Enjoying the movie 'American Splendor' (as mentioned previously & now forming a part of the DVD collection) once again last night, it occurred that the drawings as a sequence (as intended) would function in some form in the manner of a comic strip & its consecutive panels, each relating to the previous one & establishing a dialogue with, constituting a narrative as they progress. In both instances, the individual cells function as discrete units, drawings in the own right, but having greater meaning when experienced cumulatively (although the football crowd drawings may be less dependent on this to a degree & also enjoy greater 'relational' freedom with adjacent sketches).
