Artist Piotr Szyhalski’s COVID-19: Labor Camp Reports are a daily series of poster designs inspired by news events; the first posted on March 24, 2020. This prolific series can be seen on Instagram, and is soon to be published as a book (see Kickstarter video below). These “vintage” protest and propaganda poster designs are lush, striking, and painfully relevant. I’m impressed Szyhalski has such strong design ideas day after day, but unfortunately if it’s the news that inspires him, he’s not running short on material. See more of his work on Instagram.
COVID-19 : Labor Camp Report : July 21, 2020 “I heard mothers singing lullabies on the street in Portland.

It seems as though even the most silent of moments now are filled with deep, ongoing state of unrest. How are you sleeping?”

Many of these students have never taken a drawing class before, almost all of them are new to figure drawing. Rather than learning one style, I offer a completely different stylistic …
Pouncing is a technique used for transferring an image from one surface to another. It is similar to tracing, and is useful for creating copies of a sketch outline to produce finished works.
This first image was from the ‘Transience and Eternity’, Angie Dixon’s exhibition at Foster/White in the 1990’s. It was a combination of installation and paintings. It was about creation and the formation of everything before it becomes tangible. The paintings were meant to be of the actual tangible results of the creative formation. The installation …
In Friday’s post I bragged about the drawings created in my recent Painterly Figures with Tone class. The earlier post shared how beautiful a drawing can be when the figure is sketched with no more or less attention than the wall behind it, with no outlines or delineations of form, only scribbles of tone. Today’s …
