I’ve been working on a piece that is formed from 50+ individual drawings that illustrate environmental, political, social and medical ills of the world today. They are all made from gel pen and glitter ink and they sparkle and glow strongly under a blacklight. This is an in-progress image of 30 of them. I’m hoping to be finished in June. Late last year I received an individual artist grant from the Metropolitan Arts Council to help me complete and frame this beast. So far, when hung, it will measure at least 6 x 6 feet. It is called “Bright Colors for Bad Days” and I hope to make a card set from it in the future. It will be hung as a single work and include an image guide with short explanations for each image. The image on each one is inspired by cartomancy. It’s filled with funny puns and hidden stuff, and has been very therapeutic and fun to make.
