First day of scanning my medium-sized hand drawn pieces today. Both for my records, and for choosing a few to have fine-art prints ready for the Maker Faire.

This is one of my favorites, from today's batch. It's inspired by seaweed and chemistry diagrams.

"Munich artist Fritz Schwimbeck is best known for his dark, psychological pen and ink images from before 1920. Labeled a Malerpoet (Painter poet) ... [a] description for artists that created visions of pure, primeval imagination. The Malerpoeten championed black and white images because they believed that a lack of color allowed for just enough distance from reality, moving the viewer to create their own subjective understanding"

A brick-built, vaulted cellar. At the back a stair leads up out of sight. From under the stair emerges the legs of an enormous hairy spider, reaching towards a man who recoils away from it. He holds a burning lamp which casts his shadow a long way towards our viewpoint - his shadow on the bare floor takes up the lower half of the image.

Hello, all. I just got started sketchbooking with #Ink#LineAndWash and #Watercolor & enjoying the experience.

I like the idea of being OK making bad art because it is only purposeful for me and getting stuff out and just zoning in on making art.

Here looking for a creative community and to be surrounded by awesome artists! Super perfect or top tier art is cool and all, but more interested in normal folks exploring making art and filling out a #Sketchbook.

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “Colza and Rapeseed are very similar plants; both belong to the Cruciferae (mustard family); the flowers of plants of this family have a cruciform corolla formed by 4 petals; both plants belong to the same genus, Brassica; the B. napus, var. oleifera is the colza; B. rapa, var. oleifera is the rapeseed and also the turnip, and B. napus is the rape. Colza has leaves that are smooth and glaucous; the anthers of the flowering buds show a small dark spot at the apex, and the fruits are borne almost horizontally. In the rapeseed the leaves are green, rough, and somewhat bristly, the anthers do not have the dark spots, the fruits are erect and the roundish seeds are redder and smaller than those of the colza. Both plants are cultivated for the oil-rich seeds. After extraction and purification the oil can be used for nutritional purposes. Rapeseed is 10% less productive than colza, and its cultivation is declining compared to other oilseed plants." — Francesco Bianchini and Francesco Corbetta, Fruits of the Earth translated from the Italian by Italia and Alberto Mancinelli, 1973. Below the text is a large format card with a color drawing of an uprooted dandelion plant with a yellow bloom, a green blue pen with a glass dip nib, a swatch of bright green ink and a large art deco style bottle of said ink.
