I made drawing 34 in the Red Book live on video tonight. It was an experiment in the format and to get a sense for whether I would want to try it again. I’ll do a few more tests at least. Watch the live video

I thought I would post a video showing the first pass at a drawing in this project book. The video is unedited and real time. I don’t talk in the video but there’s some scratchy and thunky mark making ASMR sounds in there. Watch on YouTube.

This is the third (I think) time I have come back to this particular drawing. It might be done? But I’ll come back again just to be sure. Watch on YouTube

I think most artists are remiss at documenting their work. Making careful records of finished art and process can often run counter to how we want to make the art itself. It can also be tedious if not impossible with some media to actually capture a document that represents it in any meaningful way — digital and interactive art, fibre arts, performance, conceptual work, and even collage and assemblage can be tricky to make records of. When we moved to the house we currently live in, my partner Gayla and I had the first time luxury of having a creation…
