I've been experimenting with ways to incorporate my love of drawing more into my gallery work. This 30"x44" drawing completely covers my coffee table. It has no specific purpose other than to try to make a giant drawing without planning or pre-sketching... just for fun, trying to be more spontaneous and free with my drawing. Luke Berliner has already started helping me fill this bad-boy up, and I welcome anyone else who wants to help (and knows where I live!) I think on the next one I'll get a paper thick enough to incorporate gouache and liquid graphite without buckling, but for now I'm just using pencil graphite. My eventual goal is to complete one of these a week.
Here it is in progress:
Do you like that ^ lame "Oh! You just caught me in the middle of drawing this thing which is already drawn" photo? I put it in for scale... sure...
Also, I visited La Luz to take photos of the show up:
I take myself REALLY SERIOUSLY.

Go Giant Drawing Go!!
I think you should totally organize a collaborative drawing session on an enormous sheet of paper.
On a related note, sorry I missed the opening of your show, I did manage to go see it after that, fantastic work.
take new pictures of the giant drawings!
