This is the 30th drawing in the Red Book.
I was both looking forward to drawing on this page and also had a certain level of anxiety.
The photo at the top of Jesse Owens in mid jump is such a powerful image to react to that I knew I would want it to stay the focus of this drawing. That comes with anxiety because I don’t normally have anything preconceived or assumed before I start drawing.
Not that I knew at all what I would do ahead of time but just simply that one aspect of the existing page was more important to me than normal.
I think it worked out.
