Jan 1st I decided to start a little musical drawing series.
Every Sunday til April I’ll be sharing a drawing I do in one sitting while listening to a local artist’s music. No erasers, no colour, just contour line streams of consciousness flowing from whatever song sucks me in. This is an effort to draw attention to local artists I think are great as well as tone my attempts to shift between image & song, hopefully adding something to the experience of both.
Music can be so gluttonously consumed these days & I myself gobble things down without chewing; so this helps me take in more of what the artist has spent much time crafting, too. Here’s the first 7 drawings, and do give the songs a good listen. . .
I’ll post the rest on my instagram @bremcdaniel
