DRAWING

For as long as can I remember, I've drawn. Drawing is the method I use to "feel" my way around an object, to understand that object and to bring it into my own consciousness. As an illustrator, a lot of my work depends on knowing what objects look like, how they can be rendered in any position and from any angle. In a way, the objective drawing work is similar to a musician practising scales. The drawings selected are primarily sketches - I record as much information as I need and move on to seek other objects and environments...I have filled well over 100 sketchbooks with these recordings, which is to say that I've been engaged in this activity a long time...
