I was nearing the end of the project, fuelled entirely by hatred and obsession, and trapped in a hotel room in San Diego with very few art supplies. I was in a zone I think, and this one came very naturally.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-88997756919049682322012-04-24T19:02:04.089-04:002012-04-24T19:02:04.089-04:00wow, excellent. power and economy or power through...wow, excellent. power and economy or power through economy?<br />it works for me, very well.dugghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635731334768163038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-317502235968242392011-01-18T13:46:42.901-05:002011-01-18T13:46:42.901-05:00Thank you Elizabeth.

My wife found it quite disturbing as well, which is really what I had hoped for.<br /><br />I have actually had a few people write to me regarding the more frequent use of watercolor paper or Bristol board - as opposed to found paper - lately. I will be writing a post explaining that in the next day or so. I still have stacks and stacks of old books and lots of found paper left, but there is a very specific reason why I haven't been using it as often.<br /><br />The acidity is something I considered but ultimately it is beyond my control so I don't trouble myself too much. A great deal of the found paper I have been using dates back to the 1960s or 1950s and seems to have held up fairly well for the last 40 or 50 years other than a bit of yellowing. Beyond that, I am careful to handle the pages as little as possible and I have carefully stored all of the artwork in acid-free, archival Itoya portfolios in a smoke free, pet free, non-smoking and climate controlled home. I'm doing just about everything I can do, within my budget, and I am confident that these illustrations will last at least a few more decades with no real damage.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-26914285989925080342011-01-18T12:11:17.482-05:002011-01-18T12:11:17.482-05:00I love this drawing.

(And that reminds me - how are you handling the acidity of the found paper you've been using?)734elizabethshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17250652639882070308noreply@blogger.com
