Drawing Challenge

Bookmark Doodles Rd. 2

At Doodlers Anonymous we love books. We love the texture, ink, and creases of the printed word — the tactile deliciousness of thumbing, highlighting and devouring pages. We love books that weigh heavy in our hands. This showcase challenge is a tribute to traditional paper books and the act of reading. The two winners of this challenge (yes, there will be two!) will have their artwork fashioned into DA bookmarks. We challenge you to doodle the front-side of a bookmark, and we'll use the back to promote and credit you.

Mister Hope

A bookmark with my drawing of a giant-ish man strolling through the woods, reading stories to those around him. He is covered in moss, and mushrooms grow in his grassy cloak. Some of the books he reads are super small, so he needs his magnifiers to read the tiny words.

"To read is not a terribly uplifting affair..." The ambiguities of my drawings permitted multiple readings, from the critical to the complicit. While my works are abstract (horizontal en vertical lines), my artistry holds greater affinity with the creativity of something like a surveillance camera ; a being affected by its ever possible documentation, a sort of techno-occasionalism, made in koh-i-noor 8B on 160 gr of bristol (often 81 x 61 cm but don’t ask me why…). My drawings are documents of the real that reflects on what this reality may be, and how it might be changed, through the artist’s practice and the very (slow) process of making.
