Another Technical Hitch

Another drawing made with the digital pen, on this occasion an original creation after the sequence of tracings of existing artists' drawings, &, alas, another technical hitch resulting in the failure to record the drawing in anything other than its physical form: not user error this time, in forgetting to switch the receiver on, but rather, for whatever reason, the process wasn’t registered by the device.


biro/30x20cm

The drawing as it exists, then, in its state of splendid isolation, is a biro interpretation based loosely on a general combination of aspects of that collection of photographs taken of the instance of ‘double black lines’ road markings found amongst the back streets of Chester in September of last year (already), using the tool to employ a broad & intensive mark-making approach to the familiar subject matter, constructing an active & substantial (although not necessarily as satisfactorily a subtly-modulated) tonal surface with & from such means.
