Sketchbook: In Briefs
Word from: Shlomo
"Alone in the universe
in my sky-blue underwear"
Jake gave me the line, and I did a page of sketches playing off of it. Enjoy!
(I kind of like the little sketch at the bottom the best--the one with the guy sitting on a bed with the clouds behind him.)

I'm enthralled, but that's a biased opinion. This sketch is much more frame-driven than the rest, should it be read as a narrative? I kinda thought so, that the guy on the bed all the way down is meditating and the ascending frames are images that float through his mind. My fav is the one in the middle where the boxers make up the frame.

I think we have our first mima'akim product line! A definite from the depth's underoos.... Without question, some of the deepest creative anguish derives from this particular unseen and oft unshared reality.

Jake: You could kind of view it as a narrative. I did work from top to bottom and right to left I guess, letting the sketches just flow. so each one kinda builds off the last.
Adam: anguish FROM or IN your underoos? I once had a pari of "fruit of loom" where the label got cut off near the tag and said "frum" instead. needless to say I thought that was really cool.
Speaking of Mima'ama-products, I would still like to make "everything's assur" buttons. I had a sketch of this logo that I suggested for my friends' band. Matthew saw them and assumed that they were for buttons. Anybody have a button machine? (yeah I know stickers should come first...)

I have to say that what I find most interesting about this piece is the notion of a frame driven pirce that reads say from top to bottom, or enitirely non linearly. Can we explore that?
On the down side. I'm afraid that one of the pairs of undies looked like it had flying stink lines to me, Shmoms.
I've heard the story about the "Frum" 'wear before. I never thought I'd actually have to read about it.

Hey Deens, wassup!
I think its funny how similar stink lines are to Kedusha wisps? who would have thought the metaphysical would be so confusing!?
but seriously, what is it that intrigues you about the linearity? I'm not sure if it counts as a narrative, if each piece only associatively is related to the previous. I was actually thinking of making post hoc clearer frames before I posted, like I did once before with another drawing. I think it helps with the jumble effect some of my sketchbook pages have.
