Cobble's Knot

This is my Cobble's Knot. The Cobble's Knot is from a novel entitled Maniac Magee.  


"Maniac Magee is a novel written by American author Jerry Spinelli and published in 1990. Exploring themes of racism and homelessness, it follows the story of an orphaned boy looking for a home in the fictional Pennsylvania town of Two Mills. He becomes a local legend for feats of athleticism and fearlessness, and his ignorance of sharp racial boundaries in the town."

"His final effort to gain acceptance is by untying the famous Cobble’s Knot (a huge, grimy ball of string with a year's supply of pizza waiting for its vanquisher.) After finishing the task he is praised by everyone as confetti is thrown into the air."

I often feel there is a Cobble's Knot in my head. So it was good to get it out on canvas.

First Seven

I wanted to share the beginnings of one of these skulls with ya'll. Included is a video of the first "lines" of the image, as well as a triptych of the first 7 layers. Before sure to click for the zoomed in view.

Maxilla

Trying my best to break out of my color palette. Yellow, purple, and green. New combo for me. This was a really interesting iPad sketch before it was a painting. The painting came out looking like a landscape of a forest at sunset/rise.

I titled it Maxilla because in the early stages of the composition parts of a skull were emerging.

On my way to having enough work for the show in June. Be there!
