Portraits / Ocean Animals
Been working on portraits of my friends, wending their way between spirit animals and formal (or practical) considerations.
drawings VIII (the friend feeder II)
“The Friend Feeder II” a.k.a. Invaders of Britain.
After Rembrandt’s Woman with Snake.
Sketch for an animation.
drawings VII (Reds)
Drawing VI (REd vs Greys)
Veni vidi vici (crest II sketch)
Schematic/crest of 3 shields of the Grey Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris).
Originally imported from America to Great Britain ca. 1840 as a living lawn ornament. On left, the nationalist imperative that the Greys should now be exterminated; on right; deforestation in part to supply the Briitsh Royal Navy with timber historically contributed to the near-vanquished Red Squirrel’s loss of habitat, helping to pave the way for the victorious Greys.
